契诃夫小说全集·第8卷(Collected works of Chekhov's novel·volume 8)

本卷收入契诃夫1889年至1892年创作的中短篇小说15篇，这些作品反映了作者否定托尔斯泰的禁欲主义和不抵抗主义的倾向，同时也有力地控诉了沙皇专制制度的野蛮和残暴。《跳来跳去的女人》淋漓尽致地展示了一个爱慕虚荣的女人可笑而又可悲的心灵。《第六病室》是契诃夫思想上成熟的标志，小说叙述了在沙皇专制的俄国的现实，在这种制度下，任何人，尤其是有见解、爱思考、敢直言者，随时都可能受到诬陷和逮捕，或被当作"疯子"，关进如监狱一般的"第六病室"。在《第六病室》里契诃夫成功地做到了"让这个社会看清楚它自己，并为它自己感到害怕"。 (About 15 short and medium-length novels composed by Cheknov in 1889-1892 are collected in this volume, reflecting the tendency of Cheknov denying Tolstoy's asceticism and no resistance. Meanwhile, this effectively accuses the brutality and cruelty of the tsarist autocracy. In the Poprignunyas, the funny and sad thought of a woman for vanity are vividly shown. Ward No.6 is mature marks of thought for Cheknov. As depicted in the novel, under the autocratic system of Russia, anyone especially people with insights, tending to think and outspoken people are likely to be framed and arrested at any time or treated as crazy and put into the prison-like Ward No.6. In Ward No.6, Cheknov successfully did make the society recognize itself and fear itself.)
