📱 eBook en inglés GONE ASTRAY

Gone Astray is one of Chekhovs earlier comedic short stories that is a light-hearted romp about two drunken lawyers trying to find their way home at night. Chekhovs masterful use of irony is present here as one of the lawyers, Kozyavkin, accidentally violates the law by breaking into a house he believes to be his own. The short features some of Chekhovs most farcical images, such as the overly confident Kozyavkin blindly stumbling through a chicken coop to find his misplaced belongings. Gone Astray is a hilarious short story that is an interesting bridge between Chekhovs earlier comedic work and later melancholy stories as his satirical view of the upper classes is a constant theme throughout. Featuring terrific characters and slapstick comedy, Gone Astray should be read by fans of Chekhov or the television series Curb Your Enthusiasm.
