📱 eBook en inglés AN ANONYMOUS STORY

An Anonymous Story follows an anonymous assassin, sent to infiltrate the home of Orlov, the wealthy son of a judge. Disguised as a servant, the revolutionary perfectly blends into the household and observes them from within. However, his soul is soon disturbed by the womanising Orlovs attitude towards his wife, and the assassins mission takes a dramatic turn. An Anonymous Story is a fast-paced novella that starts as a political thriller, before becoming a household drama teeming with intrigue and infatuation. Chekhovs comic social commentary is present as he criticizes the deceptive façade of the upper classes and the divergence between men and womens ability to express their true emotions. It is also a story of internal struggle as the anonymous assassin is torn between revolution and romance which displays Chekhovs command of irony and tragedy at its finest. This tale of romance and deception is recommended for fans of Dostoevsky or The Talented Mr. Ripley.
