Ward No. 6 and Other Stories, 1892-1895 - Anton Chekhov

These stories from the middle period of Chekhov's career include - influenced by his own experiences as a doctor - Ward No. 6, a savage indictment of the medical profession set in a mental hospital. In all the stories collected here, Chekhov's characters face madness, alienation and frustration before they experience brief, ephemeral moments of insight, often earned at great cost, where they confront the reality of their existence.
