ანოტაცია: In ‘The Lady with the Little Dog’ a man and a woman indulge in an affair that could ruin both their marriages, but their feelings for each other compel them towards betrayal. ‘Peasants’ focuses on the brutality of peasant life, where the locus of evil is the tavern in which the men spend the last of their meagre earnings on vodka and go home drunk to beat their wives.
