Logodnica. Schițe și povestiri
Acest volum cuprinde unele dintre cele mai cunoscute proze ale lui A.P. Cehov, incluzind povestiri precum Calugarul negru sau Logodnica. Cehov si-a facut debutul in literatura cu miniaturi umoristice, scenete dialogate, foiletoane si anecdote, vadind, ca umorist, un elan jovial, oroarea de ridicol, un simt comic neingradit si gustul fata de parodie si pastisa. In toate ipostazele sale, proza cehoviana exceleaza in crearea de atmosfera, in descrierea mecanismelor sufletesti din perspectiva conditiilor ivite in caracterul omului, in dezvaluirea absurditatii cotidianului prin analiza unor momente ale realitatii exagerate constient, cu denaturare inspre tragic (Moartea unui slujbas).
„E foarte usor sa te faci scriitor. Nu exista slut care sa nu-si gaseasca perechea potrivita si nu exista bazaconie care sa nu-si gaseasca cititorul ei. De aceea, nu te sfii… Pune inaintea ta o coala de hirtie, ia pana in mina si, dupa ce ti-ai imboldit imaginatia, da-i drumul! Scrie despre ce vrei: despre prune, despre vreme, despre cvasul Govorov, despre Oceanul Pacific, despre minutarul ceasornicului, despre zapada de anul trecut…” (A.P. Cehov)

Dramas, such as The Seagull (1896, revised 1898), and including "A Dreary Story" (1889) of Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, also Chekov, concern the inability of humans to communicate.
Born ( Антон Павлович Чехов ) in the small southern seaport of Taganrog, the son of a grocer. His grandfather, a serf, bought his own freedom and that of his three sons in 1841. He also taught to read. A cloth merchant fathered Yevgenia Morozova, his mother.
"When I think back on my childhood," Chekhov recalled, "it all seems quite gloomy to me." Tyranny of his father, religious fanaticism, and long nights in the store, open from five in the morning till midnight, shadowed his early years. He attended a school for Greek boys in Taganrog from 1867 to 1868 and then Taganrog grammar school. Bankruptcy of his father compelled the family to move to Moscow. At the age of 16 years in 1876, independent Chekhov for some time alone in his native town supported through private tutoring.
In 1879, Chekhov left grammar school and entered the university medical school at Moscow. In the school, he began to publish hundreds of short comics to support his mother, sisters and brothers. Nicholas Leikin published him at this period and owned Oskolki (splinters), the journal of Saint Petersburg. His subjected silly social situations, marital problems, and farcical encounters among husbands, wives, mistresses, and lust; even after his marriage, Chekhov, the shy author, knew not much of whims of young women.
Nenunzhaya pobeda , first novel of Chekhov, set in 1882 in Hungary, parodied the novels of the popular Mór Jókai. People also mocked ideological optimism of Jókai as a politician.
Chekhov graduated in 1884 and practiced medicine. He worked from 1885 in Peterburskaia gazeta.
In 1886, Chekhov met H.S. Suvorin, who invited him, a regular contributor, to work for Novoe vremya, the daily paper of Saint Petersburg. He gained a wide fame before 1886. He authored The Shooting Party , his second full-length novel, later translated into English. Agatha Christie used its characters and atmosphere in later her mystery novel The Murder of Roger Ackroyd . First book of Chekhov in 1886 succeeded, and he gradually committed full time. The refusal of the author to join the ranks of social critics arose the wrath of liberal and radical intelligentsia, who criticized him for dealing with serious social and moral questions but avoiding giving answers. Such leaders as Leo Tolstoy and Nikolai Leskov, however, defended him. "I'm not a liberal, or a conservative, or a gradualist, or a monk, or an indifferentist. I should like to be a free artist and that's all..." Chekhov said in 1888.
The failure of The Wood Demon , play in 1889, and problems with novel made Chekhov to withdraw from literature for a period. In 1890, he traveled across Siberia to Sakhalin, remote prison island. He conducted a detailed census of ten thousand convicts and settlers, condemned to live on that harsh island. Chekhov expected to use the results of his research for his doctoral dissertation. Hard conditions on the island probably also weakened his own physical condition. From this journey came his famous travel book.
Chekhov practiced medicine until 1892. During these years, Chechov developed his concept of the dispassionate, non-judgmental author. He outlined his program in a letter to his brother Aleksandr: "1. Absence of lengthy verbiage of political-social-economic nature; 2. total objectivity; 3. truthful descriptions of persons and objects; 4. extreme brevity; 5. audacity and originality; flee the stereotype; 6. compassion."

8) E foarte ușor să te faci scriitor. Nu există slut care să nu-și găsească perechea potrivită și nu există bazaconie care să nu-și găsească cititorul ei. De aceea, nu te sfii... Pune înainte ta o coală de hârtie, ia pana în mână și, după ce ți-ai îmboldit imaginația, dă-i drumul! Scrie despre ce vrei: despre prune, despre vreme, despre cvasul Govorov, despre Oceanul Pacific, despre minutarul ceasornicarului, despre zăpada de anul trecut... Când ai isprăvit, ia-ți manuscrisul în mână și, cu vinele străbătute de o înfiorare sacră, du-te la redacție. După ce ți-ai scos galoșii în vestibul și ai întrebat: „Domnul director e aici?” - intră în încăperea sacrosanctă și, plin de speranță, predă-ți creația... După aceea, stai acasă, lungit pe divan, o săptămână încheiată, scuipând în tavan și legănându-te cu visuri: apoi du-te iar la redacție, unde ți se va înapoia manuscrisul. Treci și pe la alte redacții... După ce vei fi făcut ocolul tuturora, fără ca manuscrisul să-ți fie acceptat de vreuna, publică-ți opera pe cont propriu. Cititori se vor găsi.” :)

După părerea mea, aceasta nu este cea mai inspirată sau inteligentă selecție din opera lui Cehov. Prima parte curge bine, regăsim din plin cinismul și vederea pătrunzătoare a autorului rus. Partea a doua, presupun, a fost aleasă pentru acest volum în virtutea colecției de călugări, popi, arhimandriți. M-a plictisit. Am pierdut șirul.
Păcat de magistrala traducere în copioasa limbă românească. Nota zece pentru asta!
