"Vanka" is a poignant short story by Anton Chekhov that recounts a young apprentice's secret letter to his grandfather, pleading for help to escape his difficult life with a shoemaker. Published in 1887 as a Christmas tale, the story exemplifies Chekhov’s skill in blending humor with darker, more somber themes of everyday Russian life.
