One great example of Chekhov's minimalism is found in The Beauties, a very short "story" - I use the term loosely, because it is really just two snapshots, two unrelated anecdotes in which a man describes seeing true beauty in two different women. These women are imperfect, yet enigmatically alluring. Chekhov's genius lies in the way he manages to convey with such apparent effortlessness a profound sense of the mystery of beauty, and of the sadness of those who observe and think.

The Beauties: Essential Stories is a captivating collection that brings together some of the most remarkable and beloved works by the acclaimed Russian writer Anton Chekhov. This anthology showcases Chekhov's unparalleled talent for depicting the complexities of human nature, the intricacies of relationships, and the nuances of everyday life. Each story in this collection is a testament to Chekhov's unparalleled ability to capture the subtlest emotions and psychological depths of his characters.

Some love affairs are not the story book kind. Not even the second time around. Rupert Ruskin vows to give his dying ex-wife as beautiful a send off as he can. But getting her to do what he wants has always been like cornering a hurricane. Besides, she has her own ideas of how she plans to go out. If he's not careful, they'll stretch Ruskin's very soul to its limits.
