Mutlu Son
Mehmet Özgül çevirisi, Rufus W. Mathewson, JR’ın önsözü, Harold Schefski’nin sonsözü, Yazar ve dönem kronolojisi, Kitaba dair görsellerle.
Mutlu Son, Çehov’un olgunluk döneminin başlangıcı kabul edilen 1887 yılına ait öyküleri bir araya getiriyor.
Peterburgskaya Gazeta’da 1887 yılında yayımlanan öyküleriyle Anton Çehov, mizah yazarlığından öteye geçip 19. yüzyıl realist geleneği içinde kalıcı bir statü kazanmıştır. İnsan hayatının sonraki evrelerine, orta yaş deneyimine odaklanan öykülerin çoğunlukta olduğu Mutlu Son; kamusal ve özel hayat arasında mekik dokuyan çağdaş insanın deneyimlerini kesintisiz bir akış, toplumsal bir arka plan ve keskin bir estetik duyarlılık içinde betimliyor. Çehov’un öykü sanatında ustalığa ilerlediği dönemin ürünü olan Mutlu Son’da günlük hayatın sıradan görünen kesitleri özgün ve dokunaklı anlatılara açılıyor. Modern öykünün mucidinden modern insanın trajik açmazlarına dair bir başyapıt.
“Koca bir yaşam tarzını belirli bir bireyin nitelikleri üstünden anlatmakta çok az yazar Çehov kadar başarılı olabilmiştir.”
- Raymond Williams

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." Because he objected that the paper conducted against [a:Alfred Dreyfu

Bu Çehov öykülerinin dördüncü cildi. Öyküleri kronolojik sırayla okuyorum; bu ciltle birlikte yazarın ustalık dönemine geldim dayandım.
Hoş, yazarın bu edebi türe yatkınlığı ilk ciltteki öykülerde de belli oluyor. Daha önce de bir çok öykü kitabı okumuşumdur, ama Çehov okuyunca bu edebi türden beklentim daha net hale geldi.
Çehov hayatın içinden durumları, duyguları süzerek karakterlerden, zamansal ve mekansal arka planından koparıyor, evrensel, ve hiç eskimeyen özleri kalıyor geriye.
Okurken Dostoyevski ya da Tolstoy'da olduğu kadar tetiklemiyor hayal gücümü belki; ama bu isimlerinin telaffuzunu bilmediğim Rus karakterleri son derece tanıdık geliyor.

En sonunda serinin 4. Kitabını da dinleyerek bitirdim. Bir ara hiç dinlemeye zaman bulamadığım için bitirdim. Açıkcası bir çok öyküyü çok beğendim. Bunlar: Sorgu yargıcı, zinoçka,volodya( feci oldum ),aslan ve güneş,kızıl tüy,baba vs. Bazı öykülerinin devamı olsun isterdim. Kesinlikle seriyi tavsiye ederim. Bu sene insallah seriyi dinleyip bittireceğim. Şuan kitap fiyatları uçtuğu için dinlemek daha mantıklı ne yazık ki...
