1 About this book
The Duel (Russian: Дуэль, romanized: Duél') is a novella by Anton Chekhov originally published in 1891.
"The Duel" was first serialized in Aleksey Suvorin's newspaper Novoye Vremya from October–November 1891, after which Suvorin edited the novella and published it as a separate edition. The book enjoyed nine re-issues during the 1890s. Chekhov included "The Duel" in Volume 6 of his Collected Works, published by Adolf Marks in 1899–1901.
Good for readers who want: literary fiction, a classic, and a short read.
