Description
Banker and bourgeois family man Dmitriy Gurov has a roving eye and is always on the lookout for his next conquest in Anton Chekhov’s 1899 story The Lady with the Dog. On holiday one year, he meets a young woman, Anna Sergeyevna, who likes to wander the shore with her pet dog. Anna is married, but her husband has not accompanied her on holiday. Taking a chance on the attraction they feel for one another, she and Dmitriy embark on a passionate affair. Once home, Dmitriy assumes that Anna will become just another entry on his long list of past mistresses. However, there is something about Anna that keeps her memory alive in Dmitriy’s mind, so much so that he resolves to find her again. A real romantic page-turner, The Lady with the Dog is a tale of physical passion strong enough to dramatically change the course of two people’s lives.
