作者简介
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860-1904) was a Russian playwright and short-story writer who is considered to be among the greatest writers of short fiction in history. Chekhov practiced as a medical doctor throughout most of his literary career: "Medicine is my lawful wife", he once said, "and literature is my mistress." This duality of profession enriched his work with precision and empathy, which won him recognition as a compassionate chronicler of Russian life. His narratives often explored complex characters and elucidated their motivations with a conciseness that remains striking to this day. Chekhov's major contribution to literature was his unique style, which he pioneered. He employed a technique of writing that focused on internal drama and the subtleties of human relationships, using a deceptively simple prose and subtle, often ironic, dialogues. His works often encapsulated the testimonies of lives afflicted by banality, underscored with an elusive promise of hope. Among his notable works is 'The Shooting Party' (1884-1885), a full-length novel which deviates from his norm, featuring an intricate plot about a love triangle that culminates in murder, revealing the darker facets of nobility and human psyche. Chekhov's influence extends beyond the literary, affecting the modern short story and the evolution of modernist drama. His stories are compact and potent, often anticipating the stream-of-consciousness technique and the iceberg theory practiced by later writers. His plays, including 'The Seagull', 'Uncle Vanya', 'Three Sisters', and 'The Cherry Orchard', are still performed worldwide. His literary proficiency garnered him the Pushkin Prize and he is often heralded alongside Tolstoy and Dostoevsky as one of the triumvirate of great Russian authors.
