      Anton Chekhov

      Anton Chekhov was born in 1860 to a peasant father in Taganrog in Ukraine, then part of Russia. he supported his family by writing hundreds of comic sketches for newspapers while training to be a doctor. The short stories that followed (the last, The Fiancee, written in the year of his death) established him as the greatest writer in Russian of the generation after Tolstoy and Dostoevsky. These sixty stories, the basis of his global fame, have influenced every major short story writer from Guy de Maupassant to Katherine Mansfield to Raymond Carver. Alongside his sketches, he wrote a series of comic one-acts and then his experimental full-length plays which were so ahead of their time that the leading director of the day, Constantin Stanislavsky, struggled to understand how to interpret them. The Seagull, his most conservative great work, looks back to the theatre of Ostrovsky and Turgenev. With Uncle Vanya, he invented a new style of theatre – surface naturalism with strong undertones of expressionism and vaudeville, which he brought to perfection in Three Sisters. The Cherry Orchard is a move in a new direction, the undertones rising to the surface. He had begun a play set on an ice flow when he died of the tuberculosis that had plagued him all his life. He was 44 years old.
