Anton Chekhov was a Russian playwright and short-story writer who is considered to be among the greatest writers of short fiction in history. He wrote hundreds of short stories, one novel, and seven full-length plays.
Collections of his stories that Chekhov prepared and published, or, in the case of The Prank, attempted to publish.
Chekhov wrote over 500 short stories, some left unfinished. Much of his early writting was published in comic periodicals, in the form of quips, topical writting, cartoon captions and sketches. As such, not everything published fits the definition of a short story.[1]
