Kashtanka

In Kashtanka, Anton Chekhov weaves a whimsical tale that follows the adventures of a spirited dachshund-mix named Kashtanka, whose name translates to little chestnut. This charming shaggy-dog story, first published in 1887, unfolds in seven engaging parts. After a disdain for music leads to her separation from the carpenters family she adored, Kashtanka embarks on a new journey with a peculiar vaudevillian. She soon finds herself surrounded by a cast of clever animals, each portrayed with Chekhovs hallmark empathy and humor. Join Kashtanka as she navigates her newfound life filled with delightful encounters and poignant moments. (Summary by Grant Hurlock)
