A day in a country how?
Answers
A Day in the Country is the first of a collection of short stories written by Anton Chekhov set in early 20th century Russia, that depicts everyday life for its rural inhabitants. While this story has its charm, and does effectively and simplistically illustrate "an average day in the country", it is also mundane, unexciting, sluggishly constructed, and remarkably ordinary. The characters are without personality, the plot is nonexistent, the writing is oversimplified, and the events are... well, uneventful. Perhaps if I continued on with reading the subsequent shorts in this particular collection, I would be able to connect better, and this story would then resonate more with me. But honestly, this feels more like reading to study rather than reading for enjoyment or entertainment. Sure, book can most certainly be both, but sadly this short story is not.
