5,890 books9,756 followersDramas, 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." Because he objected that the paper conducted against Alfred Dreyfus, his friendship with Suvorin ended

October 9, 2022Читали с 11 классом "Скрипку Ротшильда", "Попрыгунью", "Черного монаха" и трилогию. Помню, что когда я училась в школе, мне не нужны были никакие вспомогательные средства, чтобы почувствовать эту тоску, все понять про рассказы просто на уровне неотрефлексированных впечатлений. А сейчас уже тяжелее. Трилогия вообще не пошла, ни у меня, ни у класса. Может быть, её правда надо читать в 8 или в 9 классе, не знаю. "Скрипку Ротшильда" я взяла, опираясь на посты С.Волкова, и он же рекомендовал статью Эткинда "Иванов и Ротшильд". Это штамп, но после статьи я по-новому увидела рассказ. Из-за моей необразованности (я не знала, например, ничего про "черту оседлости" в 19 веке), я совсем не считала "еврейский" пласт текста, а он оказался очень важным и вообще самым ценным. Та же история с "Черным монахом" - я иначе воспринимаю этот рассказ после статьи Сухих, которая, кстати, написана не в обычном его поучающем и категоричном тоне, а как поиск ответа на искренний вопрос, искреннее недоумение. В статье очень здорово говорилось о ложной дихотомии исключительных и посредственных людей, и что самое важное в рассказе не понять, был ли Коврин гением или обычным сумасшедшим, а увидеть, что такое разделение обкрадывает людей, убивает их. Мне эта мысль очень оказалась близка.

Я почти не помнила Чехова со школы и приготовилась очень его любить. Но Чехов оказался совсем не таким, как я его представляла. Я приготовилась к милым и наполовину грустным, наполовину смешным историям, а оказалось- занудно, вообще не смешно, и грустно в основном от презрения автора к своим персонажам.
Сборник составлен в порядке написания рассказов, и ранние работы чуть не добили во мне читателя - всё, что я не люблю в классической русской литературе, в концентрированном виде. Автор сидит на белой лошади в белом пальто, и обличает порок своим метким словом.
Вторая половина сборника, самые знаменитые рассказы, мне понравилась немного больше. «Каштанка» -единственный из рассказов, который я прочитала с восторгом и удовольствием. Так же более-менее понравились «Дом с мезонином», «Душечка» и «Дама с собачкой». Но общее впечатление осталось гнетущее: скука и морализаторство. Не ожидала.

Czechow to mistrz opowiadań – krótkie, ale mocne. „Sala nr 6” wbija w fotel, „Człowiek w futerale” pokazuje, jak łatwo zamknąć się w swojej strefie komfortu, a „O miłości” to historia o uczuciach, które przychodzą za późno. Trochę smutne, trochę ironiczne, ale zawsze prawdziwe. Klasyka, którą warto znać!
