Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - The scene is laid in the park on SORIN'S estate. A broad avenue of trees leads away from the audience toward a lake which lies lost in the depths of the park. The avenue is obstructed by a rough stage, temporarily erected for the performance of amateur theatricals, and which screens the lake from view. There is a dense growth of bushes to the left and right of the stage. A few chairs and a little table are placed in front of the stage. The sun has just set. JACOB and some other workmen are heard hammering and coughing on the stage behind the lowered curtain. MASHA and MEDVIEDENKO come in from the left, returning from a walk.
Autorenporträt
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860-1904) is one of the most celebrated writers in Russian literature, renowned for his profound short stories and plays that have left an indelible mark on world literature. Born in Taganrog, Russia, Chekhov initially pursued a career in medicine, earning a degree from Moscow University. Despite practicing as a doctor throughout his life, it was his literary endeavors that brought him lasting fame. Chekhov's writing is characterized by its subtle realism, psychological depth, and an often understated, poignant exploration of human nature. His stories and plays, such as The Cherry Orchard, Uncle Vanya, and The Seagull, depict ordinary people in everyday situations, yet they reveal the profound emotions, struggles, and contradictions that define human existence. His mastery lies in his ability to convey complex moral and social themes with economy of language, avoiding overt sentimentality or moralizing. Chekhov is also credited with revolutionizing the short story form, employing a style that emphasizes mood and character over plot. His works often blur the lines between comedy and tragedy, reflecting the inherent ambiguity and complexity of life. Chekhov's influence extends far beyond his native Russia, shaping modern literature and drama worldwide.
