The Duel and Other Stories is a collection of Chekhov's short fiction, opening with the novella The Duel. Set in a seaside town in the Caucasus, it follows a restless young official and those around him as they face love, debt, boredom, and moral responsibility; it is worth hearing for its psychological insight and restrained compassion.
