Автор:Anton Chekhov Год: 2012 Издание:Oneworld Classics Страниц: 128 ISBN: 9781847492043 In "The Death of a Civil Servant", an administrative clerk accidentally sneezes on a hierarchical superior at the opera, which results in great embarrassment and hilarious and futile attempts at atonement. The other short stories included in this volume, "A Calculated Marriage", "The Culprit", "The Exclamation Mark", "The Speechmaker", "Who Is to Blame?", and "A Defenceless Creature" are in the same absurdly comical vein.
