His stories and plays are all dedicated to everyday life. Every time one reads him there is a feeling as if someone smart is telling an ironic story about yourself. Chekhov, as a narrator, gives an impression of a kind and a honest person, so if you believe that a man is the perfect undoubting creature who makes no mistakes, don’t read him or your confidence will collapse. I advise you to start with his philosophical and intelligent short stories and then move to plays where his philosophy is a bit smashed by obligatory theatre dynamics.
