In Anton Chekhov's timeless novella "The Lady with the Dog," a chance encounter at a seaside resort sets in motion a tale that resonates with the complexities of human emotion. Through his masterful prose, Chekhov invites us into the inner world of his characters, where the mundane rituals of a summer holiday give way to a profound exploration of love, desire, and the constraints of societal norms.
