'Misery'' - is a touching short story by A. P. Chekhov (1860-1904). *** An old teamster Ion Potapov is before us. He has buried his son recently. Loneliness - is his archenemy. It's enough for the readers to read some lines to feel indifference, coldness and callousness of surrounding people who can't even give an ear and commiserate with others. A profound description of a human's tragedy makes this work excellent.
