«El jardín de los cerezos» is the four-act play by Anton P. Chekhov, published by FisicalBook in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
A Russian aristocrat and her family return to the family estate, laden with debts, just before the cherry orchard is auctioned off to pay them. Resistance to selling and nostalgia for the past blend in a reflection on social change in Russia at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries.
Written in 1903 and premiered in 1904; original title «Вишнёвый сад». This edition is part of the Centenary Collection.
Suitable for readers of classical theatre and Russian literature, as well as for those who follow early 20th-century European drama.
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was a Russian playwright and short story writer. Widely considered one of the greatest writers of all time, 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 was a physician by profession. "Medicine is my lawful wife," he once said, "and literature is my mistress."
