"The Chorus Girl" by Anton Chekhov portrays a dramatic encounter between a married woman and a chorus girl named Pasha. As the story unfolds, Nikolay Petrovitch Kolpakov, Pasha's adorer, is present in her summer villa. The atmosphere is oppressive due to the heat, and both characters eagerly await the respite of an evening walk. Suddenly, the doorbell rings, surprising Pasha. She expects to find the postman or one of her female friends, but instead, a young and beautiful stranger enters. Clearly distressed, the woman asks if her husband, Nikolay Petrovitch Kolpakov, is present. Pasha denies any knowledge of her husband's whereabouts, leading to a tense exchange between the two women. "The Chorus Girl" delves into themes of deception, betrayal, and the consequences of one's actions. It highlights the power dynamics between individuals of different social statuses and explores the complex emotions that arise from such encounters. Chekhov's poignant narrative serves as a reflection on human nature and the lingering effects of choices made in moments of desperation. Read in English, unabridged.

مصنف کے بارے میں

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.
