«La gaviota; El tío Vania; Las tres hermanas; El jardín de los cerezos» brings together four plays by Anton Chekhov published by Cátedra in paperback.
In these four works, Chekhov portrays the decline of the Russian nobility and the provincial life of his time. Characters trapped between frustration and hope for a different future coexist in everyday scenes where dialogue suggests more than it says. Irony and compassion combine in a groundbreaking dramaturgy.
Letras Universales collection, number 207. Edited by Isabel Vicente Esteban, 8th edition published in 2006.
A volume for readers of classical theatre and Russian literature, with four central Chekhov titles.
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."
