"Ward No. 6 and Other Stories 1892-1895" collects stories which show Anton Chekhov beginning to confront complex, ambiguous and often extreme emotions in his short fiction. This "Penguin Classics" edition is translated with notes by Ronald Wilks, and an introduction by J. Douglas Clayton. These stories from the middle period of Chekhov's career include - influenced by his own experiences as a doctor - "Ward No. 6", a savage indictment of the medical profession set in a mental hospital; "The Black Monk", portraying an academic who has strange hallucinations, explores ideas of genius and insanity; "Murder", in which religious fervour leads to violence; while in "The Student", Chekhov's favourite story, a young man recounts a tale from the gospels and undergoes a spiritual epiphany. In all the stories collected here, Chekhov's characters face madness, alienation and frustration before they experience brief, ephemeral moments of insight, often earned at great cost, where they confront the reality of their existence.
