Anton Chekhov 
Love and Other Stories [EPUB ebook] 

สนับสนุน

Raymond Carver called Anton Chekhov ‘the greatest short story writer who has ever lived.’ This unequivocal verdict on Chekhov’s genius has been echoed many times by writers as diverse as Katherine Mansfield, Somerset Maugham, John Cheever and Tobias Wolf. While his popularity as a playwright has sometimes overshadowed his achievements in prose, the importance of Chekhov’s stories is now recognized by readers as well as by fellow authors. Their themes–alienation, the absurdity and tragedy of human existence–have as much relevance today as when they were written, and these superb new translations capture their modernist spirit. Elusive and subtle, spare and unadorned, the stories in this selection are among Chekhov’s most poignant and lyrical. The book includes well-known pieces such as ‘The Lady with the Little Dog, ‘ as well as less familiar work like ‘Gusev, ‘ inspired by Chekhov’s travels in the Far East, and ‘Rothschild’s Violin, ‘ a haunting and darkly humorous tale about death and loss. The stories are arranged chronologically to show the evolution of Chekhov’s art.

เกี่ยวกับผู้แต่ง

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.’
