The Serapis Classics edition of ‚The Anton Chekov Omnibus‘ contains over 150 stories penned by the Russian master!
A few months before he died, Chekhov told the writer Ivan Bunin that he thought people might go on reading his writings for seven years. ‚Why seven?‘ asked Bunin. ‚Well, seven and a half, ‚ Chekhov replied. ‚That’s not bad. I’ve got six years to live.‘
Über den Autor
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was a Russian playwright and short story writer, who is considered to be among the greatest writers of short fiction in history. His career as a playwright produced four classics and his best short stories are held in high esteem by writers and critics. Along with Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg, Chekhov is often referred to as one of the three seminal figures in the birth of early modernism in the theatre. Chekhov practised as a medical doctor throughout most of his literary career: ‚Medicine is my lawful wife‘, he once said, ‚and literature is my mistress.‘
