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."

Eu amo como todas as personagens estão ou a beira de um ataque de nervos ou de cometer um crime kkkkk tudo mto simples e sem enrolação, diz e não diz na medida certa. Amo essa objetividade desesperadora de Tchekhov!!!

De Tchekhov, je ne connaissais que ses pièces les plus célèbres, La Mouette et Les Trois Sœurs, par les mises en scène contemporaines que j'avais vues. J'avais beaucoup aimé, j'étais curieuse d'en découvrir plus, mais sans oser me lancer dans une oeuvre complète.
Ici, on a quatre très courtes pièces, en un seul acte, dont une est un unique monologue. Les sujets ne se ressemblent pas, mais elles sont liées par le style d'écriture et le ton, un comique un peu sombre. L'écriture de Tchekhov est à la fois classique et créative, soutenue et légère. Il sait varier la langue pour s'adapter à chacun de ses personnages, et ainsi leur créer une personnalité en seulement quelques répliques. Il y a un côté ridicule, un peu grotesque, dans les personnages comme dans les situations qu'ils vivent. Je ne m'attendais pas à m'amuser autant pendant ma lecture, j'ai été assez surprise d'être autant touchée et happée dans ce que je lisais. Je n'ai pas aimé toutes les pièces de la même manière (ma préférée est probablement la première), mais je ne me suis jamais ennuyée, et j'ai clairement envie de lire plus de textes de l'auteur après cette entrée en matière.

April 9, 2022Le livre présente des mises en scènes de situations de vie quasi-absurdes sous forme de pièces de théâtre très courtes. J'ai beaucoup apprécié le style simple et direct pour mettre en relief des aberration du comportement humain dans des contextes différents: famille et lieu de travail.
J'ai été marqué par la vieille dans Le jubilé pour qui tous les patrons, dans le public ou le privé, représentent la même force oppressive envers les travailleurs. C'est ce qui explique son comportement pour restituer le droit de son mari.
Un petit livre qui reste une bonne introduction à l'oeuvre et au style de Chekhov.

Está ben, un retrato da súa época.

Recueil de quatre courtes pièces, deux que j'ai trouvé excellente et deux que j'ai moins appréciée. Un mélange d'humour absurde et de réflexion font du style de Tchekov une découverte intéressante. Je revisiterai certainement cet auteur!
