作者简介

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860 – 1904) was a seminal Russian playwright and master of the modern short story. Born in Taganrog, Russia, Chekhov began his literary career as a freelance writer to support his family while studying medicine. Despite qualifying as a physician, Chekhov devoted much of his life to writing. His works often feature a crisp, minimalist style and explore individual human experiences, delving into complex emotions and psychological landscapes. Chekhov's narratology is characterized by subtle satire, candor, and a focus on character development over elaborate plotting, which can be seen in his collection 'Love and Other Stories' (Rayfield, 1992). This anthology encapsulates his literary ethos—a microcosm of everyday life, suffused with his trademark blend of poignancy and wry humor. Chekhov's influence on literature is profound, shaping the development of the modern short story and drama. His four major plays—'The Seagull,' 'Uncle Vanya,' 'Three Sisters,' and 'The Cherry Orchard'—remain staples in the theatrical canon, revered for their intricate character dynamics and existential undercurrents. Chekhov's contributions to literature earned him the esteemed title of one of the greatest short fiction writers in history, and his legacy endures, continuing to inspire readers and writers alike across the globe. His writing method, which pursued objectivity in the depiction of reality, reflected his medical background and fostered a narrative lens that combined a scientific eye with a compassionate heart (Chekhov, 1988).
