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."

He empezado por el final de esta obra magna editada por la editorial Páginas de Espuma, y empiezo por el último volumen porque me había leído muchos cuentos de los inicios, así que un poco caóticamente empecé la casa por el tejado. El cuarto volumen contiene sus cuentos comprendidos entre 1894 y 1903 y es imposible poder describir cuánto los he disfrutado, cuánto me he emocionado con ellos porque a pesar del tiempo que han transcurrido desde que los concibió, algunos podrían ser perfectamente cuentos escritos ahora.
Leed a Chéjov, no lo dejeís escapar!!!!

He disfrutado todos y cada uno de estos cuentos. Aprendí a disfrutar de una lectura corta, para intercambiarla con la lectura de la novela de turno. Me reconforta iniciar y finalizar una historia en forma inmediata.

Con este cuarto tomo se termina la enorme tarea de reunir cronológicamente todos los cuentos escritos por Chéjov. Ha sido genial apreciar la evolución de su estilo desde el primer tomo, con sus escritos menos conocidos, colaboraciones periodísticas, hasta los tomos tercero y cuarto, donde alcanza su madurez y se incluyen sus cuentos más famosos.
Han sido unos cuantos años de lecturas (4 tomos de unas 1000 páginas cada uno) y ahora que termino, echaré de menos a sus personajes, los paisajes rusos, la estepa, las dachas, la sensibilidad que despliega Chéjov en todo lo que escribe y la mezcla de tristeza y alegría (en mi caso, más tristeza) que produce su lectura.

Una colección de cuentos que logra ser muy regular en calidad teniendo en cuenta lo prolífico que fue Chejov.
Mis favoritos: "El monje negro", "El reino de las mujeres", "Tres Años", "Ariadna" y "Mi vida".
Esta edición también comprende relatos y fragmentos no publicados en vida del autor, de los cuales destacó a "La onomástica".
