This article presents information on the book "The Witch and Other Stories. The Tales of Chekhov," vol. 6, translated by Constance Garnett. The sixth volume of the book, in the excellent translation of Constance Garnett, contains stories from the life of rural Russia, the paramount Russia, if only by virtue of its forming eighty-six per cent. of the total population. Chekhov's peasant stories produce a chilling effect: Russia's people appear corrupt and decadent. One must also remember that important changes have affected the status and the psychology of the peasants during the two decades.
