Summary
The only full-length novel which Chekhov authored, The Shooting Party revolves around Olga, the pretty young daughter of a drunken worker on a country estate, and her relationships with the men in her life. Loved by Urbenin, whom she eventually marries; desired by the Count Karneyev; and adored by Zinovyev, who knows the sadness at the heart of her marriage, a murderous attack begins a spiral of alarm, mistrust, and deceit.
Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) was a Russian playwright and is still considered one of the greatest short story writers of all time.
