商品簡介
Five of Chekov's well-known plays express ways humans cope when trapped in their environment, revealing their weaknesses in the face of others' greed, and show how single affirmations remain in the midst of despair.
作者簡介
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (18601904) was born in Taganrog, Russia, on the Sea of Azov, the son of a small shopkeeper and the grandson of a serf. At sixteen, he was left to fend for himself while his father fled with the rest of the family to Moscow, escaping debtors’ prison. After finishing school in his native town, Chekhov went to Moscow, where, with the aid of a scholarship, he entered the University to study medicine. To help with the family finances, he started publishing tales, anecdotes, jokes, and articles. By the time he took his medical degree in 1884, writing had become his main interest and occupation. His literary reputation grew with the publication of the bookMotley Stories (1886). That same year, he made the acquaintance of Alexei Suvorin, owner of the newspaperNew Time, who invited him to contribute longer tales at a higher rate. In 1888, he was awarded the Pushkin Prize for the collectionIn the Twilight. This and the publication of the long story The Steppe marked the beginning of Chekhov’s recognition as one of Russia’s leading writers. In the years following, he produced his first serious full-length play,Ivanov (1887), as well as a steady stream of short stories. The first production of his famous playThe Sea Gull (1896) was a miserable failure. But in 1898, the play was revived at the Moscow Art Theater and proved a resounding success, as did the Theater’s productions ofThe Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard. In 1901, he married the actress Olga Knipper. He died of tuberculosis.
