Not sure why Nabakov would have called this one of the greatest short stories of all time. Man and woman engage in adulterous affair. Melodrama. The end.

Chekhov wrote great, interesting, hateable characters. I loved the way he describes things through the eyes of the main character.

Liked the writing style and will probably read more by Anton Chekhov. But the story is about two unlikeble people both married that meets and starts an affair. Can't really enjoy a story like that but the writing did interest me in other works by him
