On the High Road is a short story by Anton Chekhov, a renowned Russian author. The story follows a group of travelers who find themselves stranded on a desolate road in the middle of a snowstorm. As they wait for help to arrive, they are forced to confront their own fears, desires, and shortcomings. The travelers include a wealthy merchant, a young couple, a priest, and a group of soldiers, each with their own unique perspective on the situation. Through their interactions, Chekhov explores themes of human nature, morality, and the meaning of life. The story is characterized by Chekhov's trademark blend of humor, irony, and melancholy, and is considered a classic of Russian literature.BORTSOV. You don't understand me. . . .

My illness is what's asking! Understand!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
