«Ivanov, La gaviota, Tío Vanya» is a theatre volume bringing together three plays by Anton Chekhov, published by Alianza in paperback (328 pages, in Spanish).
Anton Chekhov brings together three pieces of Russian theatre. In Ivanov he portrays a liberal defeated by indolence; in La gaviota he addresses art and its social function; in Tío Vanya he contrasts the active life with the landowner's sleepy routine. With a restrained style and no moral judgements, he shows the complexity of everyday life.
Translation and prologue by Juan López-Morillas. Belongs to the El Libro de Bolsillo - Literatura collection from Alianza Editorial.
For readers who want to approach classical Russian theatre and the dramatic work of Anton Chekhov.
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."
