"Excellent People" by Anton Chekhov is a poignant and introspective story that revolves around the lives of Vladimir Semyonitch Liadovsky and his sister, Vera Semyonovna. Vladimir is a self-proclaimed literary man, passionate about his writing and aspiring for greater recognition. Meanwhile, Vera, a woman doctor, leads a life overshadowed by past tragedies and her devotion to her brother. Despite their contrasting personalities, they share a deep bond. "Excellent People" delves into themes of purpose, existential questioning, and the clash between idealism and pragmatism. Chekhov skilfully captures the complexities of human relationships and the internal struggles of individuals as they navigate their desires and beliefs. Through the contrasting perspectives of the two siblings, the story explores the profound impact of differing ideologies on their bond, leaving the reader with a thought-provoking reflection on the pursuit of personal passions and the search for meaning in life. Read in English, unabridged.

Par autoru

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was born in the provincial town of Taganrog, Ukraine, in 1860. In the mid-1880s, Chekhov became a physician, and shortly thereafter he began to write short stories. Chekhov started writing plays a few years later, mainly short comic sketches he called vaudvilles. The first collection of his humorous writings, Motley Stories, appeared in 1886, and his first play, Ivanov, was produced in Moscow the next year. In 1896, the Alexandrinsky Theater in St. Petersburg performed his first full- length drama, The Seagull. Some of Chekhov's most successful plays include The Cherry Orchard, Uncle Vanya, and Three Sisters. Chekhov brought believable but complex personalizations to his characters, while exploring the conflict between the landed gentry and the oppressed peasant classes. Chekhov voiced a need for serious, even revolutionary, action, and the social stresses he described prefigured the Communist Revolution in Russia by twenty years. He is considered one of Russia's greatest playwrights. Chekhov contracted tuberculosis in 1884, and was certain he would die an early death. In 1901, he married Olga Knipper, an actress who had played leading roles in several of his plays. Chekhov died in 1904, spending his final years in Yalta.
