Collins S Catching Fire Movie Tie-in Edition

In Anton Chekhov’s The Duel the escalating • animosity between two men with opposed philosophies of life is played out • against the backdrop of a seedy resort on the Black Sea coast • Laevsky is a dissipated romantic given to gambling and flirtation; he has run • off with another man’s wife, the beautiful but vapid Nadya, and now finds • himself tiring of her.

As the confrontation • between the two becomes increasingly heated, it leads to a duel that is as • comically inadvertent as it is inevitable. Masterfully translated by the • award-winnning Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, The Duel is • one of the most subtle examples of Chekhov’s narrative art
