Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1964). “Letters on the short story, the drama, and other literary topics”

A litterateur is not a confectioner, not a dealer in cosmetics, not an entertainer. . . . He is just like an ordinary reporter.

Anton Chekhov

Honesty, Giving, Justice

Anton Chekhov

Humility, Justice, Patriotism
