Summary

In "The Collected Short Stories of Anton Chekhov," readers are invited into a rich tapestry of human emotion and social commentary that exemplifies Chekhov's mastery of the short story form. With a distinctive literary style characterized by subtle irony, intricate character development, and profound psychological insight, this collection highlights the existential dilemmas of everyday life. Chekhov deftly navigates themes of love, disillusionment, and the passage of time, often reflecting the shifting socio-political landscape of late 19th-century Russia, making his work timeless and universal in appeal. Anton Chekhov, a physician turned playwright and short story writer, provided a unique lens through which to view the human condition. Having experienced the complexities of life in a rapidly modernizing Russia, Chekhov's keen observations and personal experiences deeply informed his narratives. His belief in the power of story to encapsulate life's unsung moments propelled him to become one of the most significant figures in world literature, influencing generations of writers and reshaping the short story genre. For readers seeking both literary excellence and profound insight into the human experience, "The Collected Short Stories of Anton Chekhov" stands as an essential addition to any literary collection. Chekhov's ability to portray the nuances of personal and societal conflicts invites readers to reflect on their own lives, making this anthology not just a reading experience, but an exploration of what it means to be human.

    This book follows straight after the first book; “Paying the Price 1”.  
Layla Turnbull, a single mother, lives with her eighteen-year-old daughter, Chloe, in an ordinary semi-detached house in North London. Chloe is taking her final exams soon and she needs a distinction in Maths to get the University place she wants. The best maths tutor in town lives just four doors down on the same street and Layla asks him to be Chloe’s tutor, but unfortunately, there's a price to pay. The tutor, Master Matchek, comes from Czechoslovakia and has an unusual system that includes spanking the students when they make mistakes or break any of his rules. Not only that, the tutor believes that the mothers are also at fault so he insists that they present themselves for the same punishment later on the same day.  
Layla agrees to the price she has to pay to make sure her daughter gets the distinction she requires. While doing the extra lessons Chloe meets Mary, another student in the class and they become firm friends, with benefits. Mary’s mother and Layla also get together and this book is about their relationships.  
Chloe had been late for her last lesson so her mother, Layla, had to receive the same punishment later on the same day, only the parent’s punishment was doubled. Layla had been in the Mall with her friend June that evening when she learnt that Chloe had been punished so she asked June to drop her off for her punishment on the way home.
