About this audiobook
In "In An Hotel" by Anton Chekhov, Madame Nashatyrin, the wife of a colonel, complains to the hotel-keeper about the scandalous behavior of Staff-Captain Kikin, who is staying in the hotel. She is outraged by the vulgarity of Kikin's language and the lewd stories he tells. The hotel-keeper sympathizes with Madame Nashatyrin but explains that Kikin owes him three months of rent and refuses to leave. Despite Kikin's disgraceful behavior, the hotel-keeper admits that he is a handsome, intelligent man when sober. Madame Nashatyrin is surprised to learn that Kikin is not married and begins to mull over this new information. The story ends with Madame Nashatyrin lost in thought as her daughters, Lilya and Mila, continue to sit at the window, blushing at Kikin's scandalous stories. Read in Enlgish, 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.
