• For Your Consideration: • A RARE* First UK Edition, First UK Printing (1920) in HARDCOVER of: • “THE CHORUS GIRL AND OTHER STORIES”(Chatto & Windus, 1920) (Hardcover, First UK Edition, First Printing) • BY ANTON [T]CHEKHOV • TRANSLATED BY CONSTANCE GARNETT *RARITY NOTE: At the time of this listing (22 April 2024), there were two copies of this book for sale online (source: Bookfinder website). • ABOUT THE AUTHOR: • “What writers influenced me as a young man? CHEKHOV! As a dramatist? CHEKHOV! As a story writer? CHEKHOV!” —TENNESSEE WILLIAMS• “Reading CHEKHOV was just like the angels singing to me.” —EUDORA WELTY • “CHEKHOV’s stories are as wonderful (and necessary) now as when they first appeared. It is not only the immense number of stories he wrote—for few, if any, writers have ever done more—it is the awesome frequency with which he produced masterpieces, stories that shrive us as well as delight and move us, that lay bare our emotions in ways only true art can accomplish.” —RAYMOND CARVER• “I heartily recommend taking as often as possible CHEKHOV’s books and dreaming through them as they are intended to be dreamed through. In an age of ruddy GOLIATHS, it is very useful to read about delicate DAVIDS. Those bleak landscapes, the withered sallows along dismally muddy roads, the gray crows flapping across gray skies, the sudden whiff of some amazing recollection at a most ordinary corner—all this pathetic dimness, all this lovely weakness, all this CHEKHOVIAN dove-gray world is worth treasuring in the glare of those strong, self-sufficient worlds that are promised us by the worshippers of totalitarian states.” —VLADIMIR NABOKOV• “No one puts life onto the page as CHEKHOV does.” —E. L. DOCTOROW• “Reading CHEKHOV, I felt not happy, exactly, but as close to happiness as I knew I was likely to come. And it occurred to me that this was the pleasure and mystery of reading, as well as the answer to those who say that books will disappear.” —FRANCINE PROSE • “The revolution that CHEKHOV set in train—and which reverberates still today—was not to abandon plot, but to make the plot of his stories like the plot of our lives: random, mysterious, run-of-the-mill, abrupt, chaotic, fiercely cruel, meaningless…. CHEKHOV is the father of the modern short story and his influence is still massive and everywhere…. KATHERINE MANSFIELD and JOYCE were among the first to write in the CHEKHOVIAN spirit, but his cool, dispassionate, unflinching attitude to the human condition resounds in writers as diverse as WILLIAM TREVOR and RAYMOND CARVER, ELIZABETH BOWEN, JOHN CHEEVER, MURIEL SPARK and ALICE MUNRO.” —WILLIAM BOYD• “These stories are inconclusive, we say, and proceed to frame a criticism based upon the assumption that stories ought to conclude in a way that we recognise. In so doing we raise the question of our own fitness as readers. Where the tune is familiar and the end emphatic—lovers united, villains discomfited, intrigues exposed—as it is in most Victorian fiction, we can scarcely go wrong, but where the tune is unfamiliar and the end a note of interrogation or merely the information that they went on talking, as it is in CHEKHOV, we need a very daring and alert sense of literature to make us hear the tune, and in particular those last notes which complete the harmony.” —VIRGINIA WOOLF• “CHEKHOV seems to me a writer for adults, his work becoming useful and also beautiful by attracting attention to mature feelings, to complicated human responses and small issues of moral choice within large, overarching dilemmas, any part of which, were we to encounter them in our complex, headlong life with others, might evade even sophisticated notice. CHEKHOV’s wish is to complicate and compromise our view of characters we might mistakenly suppose we could understand with only a glance.” —RICHARD FORD • “[CHEKHOV’s characters] are not lit by the hard light of common day but suffused in a mysterious grayness. They move in this as though they were disembodied spirits. It is their souls that you seem to see…. You have the feeling of a vast, gray, lost throng wandering aimless in some dim underworld.” —SOMERSET MAUGHAM • “No one understood as clearly and finely as ANTON CHEKHOV the tragedy of life’s trivialities, no one before him showed men with such merciless truth the terrible and shameful picture of their life in the dim chaos of bourgeois everyday existence.” —MAXIM GORKY • • For other details about this book, please see below. • SERIES: “TALES OF [T]CHEKHOV: VOL. VIII” TITLE: “THE CHORUS GIRL AND OTHER STORIES” AUTHOR: ANTON [T]CHEKHOV TRANSLATOR: CONSTANCE GARNETT TYPE: HARDCOVER PUBLISHER, LOCALE, & YEAR: Chatto & Windus (London, England), 1920 EDITION: First UK Edition, First UK Printing* *RE: On the Title Page, the publication date of “1920” appears—with no later printings or publication dates listed on the Copyright Page—or elsewhere. SOURCE I: “CHATTO AND WINDUS. Later printings are noted on the copyright page.” —“MODERN BOOK COLLECTING,” ROBERT A. WILSON (Alfred A. Knopf, Hardcover, First Edition, 1980) SOURCE II: These first-edition statements from the publisher: “CHATTO & WINDUS (ENGLAND): 1928 Statement: ‘We use no particular distinguishing sign to mark our first editions with….’ CHATTO & WINDUS (ENGLAND): 1947 Statement: ‘We have no distinguishing mark, but certainly all contemporary work is easily identified by the fact that all books bear the date of publication either on the title-page or the verso of the title, and in the event of a book being reprinted the information as to whether it is a second impression or a new edition is noted in the biblio.” —“FIRST EDITIONS: A GUIDE TO IDENTIFICATION,” edited by ZEMPEL & VERKLER (The Spoon River Press, Hardcover, Second Printing, June, 1985) NOTE: This copy is NOT an ex-library copy.

We enjoy treating FLAPPINCAT customers with honesty & respect & warmth because that’s how we like to be treated when we buy things on eBay.2. GENERAL ATTITUDE. We are grateful you choose to trust us with your business. We aim for that gratitude to permeate every part of how we engage with you.3. OUR DESCRIPTIONS. We describe every item we sell as clearly and accurately as we can. When it comes to describing condition, we tend toward being conservative. 4. PACKING & SHIPPING. We know from experience that items, when not thoughtfully packed, can be damaged during shipment. To avoid that real danger, FLAPPINCAT wraps & cushions your purchase(s) mindfully—and sometimes zealously—in a sturdy package. WARNING: In our zeal, we sometimes over-tape containers and you may need a penknife to unseal our shipments. NOTE: Though we often recycle shipping materials, we do NOT stint on protection. 5. OUR PRICES. We try to offer the lowest prices on eBay for items we sell. Even our most expensive offerings tend to be lower than what others are asking. “You could look it up!” —to quote baseball immortal JACK KEEFE. SUMMARY: We know you have many buying options on eBay. FLAPPINCAT tries to be distinctive by being accurate, mindful, and friendly. *********** How We GRADECONDITION ***********DETAILS. The condition of every item we sell will be described in detail.FLAWS. All discernible flaws will be noted, if not emphasized. Of course, the grading of condition can be subjective. And since no grader is perfect, it is possible that we may at times miss a flaw. It is also possible that we may miss some perfections! Should we make a mistake, you will find FLAPPINCAT eager to fix things with you. Just send us a note and we’ll get on it.GRADING SYSTEM. For books and magazines (and even other items), we use these terms (in order of desirability): VERY FINE or LIKE NEW FINE (or EXCELLENT) NEAR FINE (or NF) VERY GOOD PLUS (or VG+) VERY GOOD (or VG) GOOD FAIR ACCEPTABLE POOR “POOR.” Except in rare cases, for rare items, we tend to avoid selling items that are in utterly “POOR” condition. It is more likely that on a rare item, only one part of an item (out of numerous parts) will be described as “POOR.”RETURNS. We accept that you may wish to return a purchase because you genuinely think we haven’t described and graded its condition properly. We accept that we our* imperfect. We also accept that people can see things differently—and still be civil! (*Get it?)POP QUIZ. Please feel free to ask questions at any time about condition (or anything else, except math).

(These extra photos also help to establish a paper-trial in the rare case that an item is damaged en route to you.)*********** SHIPPING ***********Every item is individually priced for postage.
