Probing below the surface, Chekhov lays bare the character's inner structure and their secret motives. Fair enough that he compensates the lack of action with an internal drama!

Chekhov writes such interesting, complex characters, who develop and change, who have moments of epiphany. Along with that, he has a way of writing that compels the reader to go on, ask questions and speculate.
I did not like Gurov at the beginning; I did not know what to think of him by the end.

There are specific choices of words said by the major character that filled me with wonder. What depth of vision; vision of a person that differs so much from the writer's.
How could the author develop such a vast spirit that could contain real characters and dive into such depths.
The story is beautiful but.....
You guys might understand why......

Gurov is attracted to Anna and decides to get to know her.
PS: 1- Gurov thinks low of women, they're an inferior race.
2- Gurov has a history of love affairs.
3- He can't live without the company of women, he's bored with men.

I don't like cheating stories and I didn't like the main male character. But it was alright overall.
First read January, 2017
They say it's a story about your last love, not your first one. And I guess that's true. Really enjoyed this short story, it left an interesting feeling afterwards. Like I've lived through it, or like it was a dream. Glad to start my reading year with such a book.
'This late-coming love,
May be coy volture's instincts,
For the sad and weak.'

review of another editionSigh. I don't know how to rate this one. Objectively, I can confidently say that this book is beautifully written. There's something about Chekhov's imagery that draws me in. There's a kind of simplicity in it that resonates with you. It's not too flowery and purply, yet its quietness is remarkably beautiful and it fits the subtlety of the story. The romance, despite its utter wrongness, is palpable and the characters are three dimensional. They are flawed individuals and the narration...more
The more things change, the more they stay the same.... When I was a young adult, I loved all of the Russian novels I read--but not the plays. Never the plays. Maybe it wasn't actually the form I was reacting to but the author, as I seem to remember Chekhov was one of the playwrights I didn't care for. Of course, it's possible that I just don't 'get' him. In writing this review, I just remembered the term '...more
'...always supposed that every man led his own real and very interesting life under the cover of secrecy, as under the cover of night. Every personal existence was upheld by a secret, and it was perhaps partly for that reason that every cultivated man took such anxious care that his personal secret should be respected.'
The end is a little ambiguous. Chek...more

I tend to be chary of the idea of comfort reading. To me it suggests complacency, a hankering for reassurance, or the restoration of an earlier period – typically childhood – through the enveloping power of what Proust called involuntary memory. These aren't things I look for from books. One thing in its favour, however, is that comfort reading is an act of rereading, and many seasoned readers insist that that is the most rewarding kind of reading there is.
According to Vladimir Nabokov, 'A good reader, a major reader, an active and creative reader is a rereader'. Sean O'Faolain, discussing Anton Chekhov's short story Verotchka, writes, 'Having reread it I feel … that nobody should read more than he can in 10 years reread; that first reading is a pleasure for youth, second reading an instruction for manhood, and third reading, no doubt, the consolation and despair of old age. For Verotchka reread is simply another thing altogether.' What O'Faolain identifies here is an altogether higher form of comfort: that provided by an inexhaustible work of art.

In 1898, Chekhov wrote a trilogy of stories describing a summer hunting trip taken by the vet Ivan Ivanych and the schoolteacher Burkin. Each features a story within a story recounted by the men in natural breaks from hunting. In the first story, The Man in a Case, Burkin describes a fellow teacher who shuts himself off from life. About Love describes a love that was professed too late. In the central story, Gooseberries, Ivan Ivanych tells a story about happiness, self-deception and cruelty.
I find myself returning to Gooseberries again and again. On the surface it is a simple story. Ivan and Burkin walk contentedly through the Russian countryside. When a hard rain begins to fall they seek shelter at the nearby estate of their friend Alekhin. They are welcomed, given refreshments by a beautiful servant, and they bathe. Later that evening, Ivan tells his friends a story about his brother.

The story's opening section offers much straightforward pleasure. I like to read it in the warm, where I can best enjoy the men trudging wetly through the heavy rain, and Chekhov's description of their feet 'weighed down with mud'. I want to be given hot tea by beautiful Pelageya, go out to the bathing house and afterwards, clean again, throw myself into the pond and swim in the rain, as Ivan does. In her book-length study, Reading Chekhov, Janet Malcolm writes that he 'liked to contrast the harsh weather of God's world with the kindlier climate of man's shelters from it. He liked to bring characters out of blizzards and rain storms into warm, snug interiors', and he does so here with the evocative simplicity that is one of the principal pleasures of his prose.
But when the men return inside and settle down to their refreshments, the mood begins to alter. Ivan returns to a story about his brother Nikolai that he had first begun telling Burkin just before the rain began. It is a bitter story about a 'kind, meek man', a civil servant, who nurtured a dream to retire to a modest plot in the country where he would live a simple life and grow gooseberries. But as he saves money his avarice grows, his dream becomes less modest. He marries for money, and forces his wife to live so frugally that Ivan suggests Nikolai was responsible for her death. Eventually Nikolai retires and buys a scrappy farm with 'a brick factory on one side … and a bone-burning factory on the other'. Nikolai orders and plants 20 gooseberry bushes.
When Ivan visits he finds his brother pompous, insufferable. The gooseberries – the first harvest – are 'tough and sour', but Nikolai, 'with tears in his eyes', pronounces them delicious. Ivan then embarks on a passionate tirade against the inequality of a society where 'the happy man feels good only because the unhappy bear their burden silently, and without that silence happiness would be impossible':
We see those who go to the market to buy food, eat during the day, sleep during the night, who talk their nonsense, get married, grow old, complacently drag their dead to the cemetery; but we don't see or hear those who suffer, and the horrors of life go on somewhere behind the scenes.
Ivan's speech drags injustice and misery into Alekhin's snug drawing room. It is, to borrow Jack Kerouac's description of Naked Lunch: 'a frozen moment when everybody sees what is on the end of every fork'. As Malcolm writes of Gooseberries and its fellow stories, they 'do not celebrate the hearth but, on the contrary, constitute a three-part parable about the perils of staying warm and safe, and thereby missing what is worthwhile in life, if not life itself'. The meaning and purpose of life, Ivan exhorts his friends, does not reside in happiness and comfort, 'but in something more intelligent and great', in kindness to one's fellow humans.
Ivan's behaviour irritates Burkin and Alekhin, who find it 'boring to hear a story about a wretched official who ate gooseberries'. They understandably don't want to hear about inequality and hardship, cosily swaddled as they are. But there is another, more enigmatic layer to Chekhov's story, one that perhaps only rereading unearths. Ivan calls happiness, just like the perceived succulence his brother's gooseberries, an illusion; and yet a suspicion grows that it is Nikolai's happiness, pure and simple, that angers Ivan, and that perhaps his impassioned argument has been constructed retrospectively in order to justify his position. We then consider that earlier, when the men were bathing, only Ivan swam in the pond, which when the men first entered the farmyard was described as 'cold, malevolent'. As Ivan splashes about his two friends stand moodily at the pond's edge, urging him to hurry up so they can go inside. Is the pond, then, a symbol intended to rhyme with the gooseberries? Are Nikolai's happiness on his farm and, in a smaller way, Ivan's happiness in the pond related? As is so often the case in Chekhov, the story poses questions but supplies no definite answers; in a letter of 1888 to his publisher Suvorin he writes:
Anton Chekhov Works
Anyone who says the artist's field is all answers and no questions has never done any writing or had any dealings with imagery. The artist observes, selects, guesses and synthesizes … You are right to demand that an author take conscious stock of what he is doing, but you are confusing two concepts: answering the questions and formulating them correctly. Only the latter is required of an author.
At the story's end, as rain beats against the windows, Burkin lies in bed. He is bothered by a strong smell that he can't place (it is the smell of stale tobacco from his friend's pipe). Here, in miniature or like a fading melody, Chekhov repeats the blend of contentment and unease that have intertwined throughout the story. And so we too are left like Burkin with something nagging at us, taking pleasure in Chekhov's artistry but haunted by the questions it asks.
