On a carriage ride, they stop at the nunnery to visit their friend Olga. After seeing Olga, "she longed to solve the problem of her life and to become something real.

May 09, L J Field rated it really liked it Shelves: classic-literature. It is too bad that the Ecco versions have fallen out of print as this is a beautiful set with a typography I enjoy. This book acted as an introduction of Chekhov to me, as I had read very little of him in the past.

I was knocked out by half of the stories. The story having the least impact was Adriana. If only he could obtain her, he is sure his life will be bliss.

For reasons of her own, and there are several, she accepts his offer. Now the tale relates the following three years of marriage and the madness of mated people who are not in love. It is a sobering reflection on getting what you ask for. There is an old adage that is as so: Is it better to love or to be loved? There is no answer to this question.

This grown-up funhouse boasts moving portraits, burlesque dancers, and spinning chandeliers.

This was the first of a series of 13 volumes of Chekhov's tales. Many of them seemed to address the rise of woman during that time and the difficulty men still had in his interactions with them but Chekhov also addresses frivolous men who spend every last rouble and of men who philander and leave their dying wives to suffer alone.

His sense of characters range from the redeemable to the nearly absurd. There is the painter who only paints landscapes and thinks we should all should merely work a c This was the first of a series of 13 volumes of Chekhov's tales. There is the painter who only paints landscapes and thinks we should all should merely work a couple of hours a day and the woman who marries a much older man for his money and spends the next ten years miserable.

There is the story which the novel starts out with, The Darling followed by a criticism of this story by Tolstoy in which a woman takes on the distinct passions of every man she marries as vehemently as if they were always her own and seeming to possess truly none of her own. Chekhov seems to hypothesizing about women and the future in a few of these and, though there is sometimes a sense of ridicule, one also gets the impression that he sees the value in women too. In any case, the definitive delivery of these stories is a sense of the people living in Russia in the late s and we see all walks of life from the successful business man's son to the artist.

Most of the people are living above the poverty line but the backgrounds are still quite diverse to be interesting. Those expecting stories reminiscent of a dark and dreary Dostoevsky will be surprised. Chekhov's tales vary from the slice of life variety to the profound but they often have a sense of wit and intellectual mirth that makes them brighter stories. One can imagine Chekhov smiling in real life whereas one can only picture Dostoevsky gnashing his teeth. The stories are also very easy to read and understand, with the only major difficulty still being so many similar names and very different sounding nicknames attached to full formal names which make it slightly more challenging at times to follow the characters.

It's difficult to top the introduction from Richard Ford and how he explains Chekhov's writing. Here's a couple of quotes I liked from that: "Indeed, one regularly finds humor in Chekhov, often in surprising though never really mistakable moments. As in Shakespeare as in Falkner as in Flannery O'Connor, the comic turn not only counterweighs and intensifies a serious story's gravity, it also humanizes our own fated intimacy with what's grave by permitting life's fullest, most actual context to be brought into view, even as it points us toward an approved method of acceptance: laughter.

The Darling Hotel, The Star Gold Coast

Its primary school reopened just this year after going into recess at the end of The death of hundreds of thousands of fish in the lower Darling earlier this year fuelled ongoing debate about the effect water management is having on the river, and fisheries officers have recently been in the Pooncarie area removing native fish to relocate them south near the Murray-Darling junction at Wentworth.

Josh Sheard, who runs the Pooncarie Hotel Motel, moved to the town about six years ago from Central Victoria and is about to experience a dry Darling River for the second time. Mr Sheard said there were "mixed reports" about the quality of the bore water the town has been using since November , when the water in the Pooncarie weir pool became too salty to be used for a potable supply.

Some remote stations along the lower Darling have been receiving trucked water from Wentworth Shire Council for several months, although many have not allowed their children to come into contact with it. With tourism critical to the town's economy and its annual race meeting coming up on October 5, Mr Sheard is hopeful the water situation will not deter visitors.

When the river last ran dry, in , it had to deliver clean water to landholders, who needed to spend thousands of dollars installing tanks on their properties to be able to accept the trucked-in supply. The State Government already has an agreement in place to reimburse the council the full cost of water carting, because station owners have been receiving trucked water for months. The funding arrangement runs until the end of the year, although there is no indication it will not be extended.
