«La Gaviota» is the play by Anton Chekhov, published by Losada in 1995 in paperback (163 pages, in Spanish).
In a country house, an actress, a famous writer, a young aspiring writer, and a girl who dreams of theatrical success come together. Chekhov weaves love, art, and melancholy into an atmosphere of unrealizable dreams, with human characters dragged by fatalities they themselves help to build.
It premiered in 1896 and is a fundamental piece of contemporary theatre for its innovations in Russian 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."
