Рассказ А. П. Чехова «Именины» написан в 1888 году. Написан по заказу редакции литературного журнала «Северный вестник», впервые опубликован в 1888 году в журнале «Северный вестник» № 11 с подписью «Антон Чехов».
The pregnant Olga Mikhaylovna plods through the name-day party she is throwing for her husband, Peter. The party is interminable; she is uncomfortable and tired of being pleasant. As Olga walks through the garden for a moment of peace, she notices her husband has also left the house and is talking with one of their guests, the lovely Lyubochka; she interprets their conversation as lovemaking.
