The collection is great except that the product description indicates that Five Great Stories by Chekov is included, but it's not. Instead a volume of The Cherry Orchard is.

What makes Russian Literature of the nineteenth century, the Literature of Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Turgenev, Gogol, and Chekhov, among the greatest the world has known?
One answer is the tremendous psychological depth , the portrayal of human life and character with such strong feeling. Great humor , great eccentrics, great searching for life's meaning, great searching of depths , great struggles in the realm of the human. And great great variety in character as each one of these masters has a type of human being uniquely his own.
And all this with the deep sense of life's great tragic moments and its suffering.
