Chekhov's 1898 story "The Man In A Case", like many of his stories, was a comment on the social and political atmosphere prevalent in Russia at the time, and for that he was criticized often. This story was the first part of what has become known as "The Little Trilogy", along with "Gooseberries" (coming next week) and "About Love" (now in our archives ). Interestingly enough, a statue of the main character, Belikov, clad in galoshes and carrying an umbrella, stands next to the Chekhov gymnasium in Taganrog, Russia, in Chekhov's honor. Belikov was based upon a real character A.F. Dyakanov, who was the inspector for that city's gymnasium during the years Chekov wrote. He wrote the story while he lived in Paris.
