The opening night was such a disaster that by Act Two Chekhov was hiding backstage from the jeering, and by 2 a.m., after hours of walking the streets alone, he was declaring, "Not if I live to be seven hundred will I write another play." It was not hard to see how the first audiences for this play might have been confused by the atomised almost chaotic appearance of the tale of lovers and strangers set in this small Russian summer retreat. The simple ordinary people are not what audiences expected in the last decade of the nineteenth century and even today some of us would prefer stories of superheroes saving the day. ( ) Includes: Ivanov, The Cherry Orchard, The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, and Three Sisters. Translated by Elisaveta Fen. Penguin Classics. Chekov (1960-1904) despite his occasional flashes of humour, paints an essentially tragic picture of Russian society. These plays all display Chekov's overwhelming sense of the tedium and futility of everyday life. Yet his representation of human relationships is infinitely sympathetic, and each play contains at least one character who expresses Chekov's hope for a brighter future.

The dramatic works of Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) present the actions of ordinary people. He avoids any explicit political treatment, but the depth and subtlety of his art has generated a wealth of interpretation. His representation of human relationships is infinitely sympathetic, and each play contains at least one character who expresses Chekhov's hopes for a brighter future. The Cherry Orchard and Three Sisters was first published in this translation in 1951. The Seagull, Uncle Vania, The Bear, The Proposal and The Jubilee were first published in this translation in 1954. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
