Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860 - 1904) was a Russian writer, playwright and physician, considered to be one of the greatest dramatists and short-story writers in the history of world literature. His career as a dramatist produced four masterpieces of the stage; The Seagull, The Cherry Orchard, Three Sisters and Uncle Vanya. His best short stories are held in high esteem by writers and critics. Chekhov practised as a doctor throughout most of his literary career: Medicine is my lawful wife , he once said, and literature is my mistress.
'Chekhov is an acute observer who could easily have made his way as a director or dramaturg judging by his ability to spot strengths and weaknesses in not only his own writing but that of others. This book builds a strong picture of theatrical life in Moscow and St Petersburg just before and at the turn of the last century, with vast amounts of bitching seemingly a commonplace. It can also serve as a tangential autobiography since, through its pages, it is possible to learn much about its subject's life and work.' * British Theatre Guide *
