«La gaviota, Las tres hermanas, El tío Vania» is a theatre volume by Anton Chekhov, published by Losada in paperback (304 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together three emblematic works of Anton Chekhov's realist theatre: «La gaviota», «Las tres hermanas» and «El tío Vania». In them, the Russian author portrays personal relationships, routine and the unfulfilled longings of his characters, with a tone that combines irony and compassion. The plays reflect Russian society of his time and the difficulty of changing a life marked by disappointment.
Translation by Shura Netchaeff and Armando Discépolo. The Spanish edition dates from July 2004.
For readers of classical theatre and Russian literature, and for those who want to start out in Chekhov's dramaturgy.
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."
