About this audiobook
The story "A Tripping Tongue" is a dialogue between Natalya Mihalovna, a young married lady who just returned from Yalta, and her husband. She talks about her experience in Yalta, including the prices, the mountains, and the immoral behavior of some aristocratic ladies. She also mentions the Tatar guides, but her husband becomes suspicious because she previously said that she only saw them from a distance. Natalya gets offended and accuses her husband of being jealous of Suleiman, her guide. The story ends with the couple arguing about whether or not it was necessary to have a guide in the mountains. Read in English, unabridged.

Anton Chekhov
Anton Chekhov was born in 1860 in Southern Russia and moved to Moscow to study medicine. Whilst at university he sold short stories and sketches to magazines to raise money to support his family. His success and acclaim grew as both a writer of fiction and of plays whilst he continued to practice medicine. Ill health forced him to move from his country estate near Moscow to Yalta where he wrote some of his most famous work, and it was there that he married actress Olga Knipper. He died from tuberculosis in 1904.
