Книги Chekhov Anton
|
В этой книге — впервые — собрано все, что Александр Чехов, старший брат Антона, написал о нем, а также переписка между братьями, длившаяся много лет. Около 200 писем Антона, более 300 — Александра, и купюры в них восстановлены. Переписка братьев, длившаяся с 1875-го по 1904 год, запечатлела период жизни Чеховых, который остался за пределами мемуаров, относящихся главным образом к таганрогскому детству и отрочеству братьев. Письма Александра выходили лишь однажды, в 1939 году, с купюрами, и больше не переиздавались. Воспоминания и переписка, собранные вместе, составляют новое документальное биографическое повествование об Антоне Чехове. Книга снабжена обстоятельными предисловием и комментариями, подготовленными авторитетными петербургскими филологами Е.М. Гушанской и И.С. Кузьмичевым. |

A secret terrorist group infiltrates the household of a government official's son, with a view to spying on the father and, ultimately, assassinating him. But the young man entrusted with the task — an ailing, world-weary nobody — seized with the purposelessness of life and a sense of his own impending death, gradually becomes disillusioned with his mission, and decides to embark on a new path which will lead him to tragedy. |

Anton Chekhov invented the modern short story. With writing that is concise, realistic, and evocative, he became a sort of photographer in words, less interested in plot than in the subtleties of mood and atmosphere, and the telling detail. His characters, always vividly drawn, come from all walks of life and often seem to be caught up in a world they don't quite understand. |

In 1890, the thirty-year-old Chekhov, already knowing that he was ill with tuberculosis, undertook an arduous eleven-week journey from Moscow across Siberia to the penal colony on the island of Sakhalin. Now collected here in one volume are the fully annotated translations of his impressions of his trip through Siberia, and the account of his three-month sojourn on Sakhalin Island, together with author's notes, extracts from Chekhov's letters to relatives and associates, and photographs. |

This collection of lesser-known of short stories — ranging from absurd humorous sketches to psychological pieces and tragic stories — demonstrates Anton Chekhov's mastery of the genre. Although varying in tone and purpose, what these tales have in common is a profound and subtle understanding of the human condition, in its farcical and melancholy aspects, couched in Chekhov's trademark minimalist style. |

A short collection showing Chekhov in an amusing, playful light, poking fun at his characters, with the moral detachment that also characterizes his major, serious works In The Death of a Civil Servant, an administrative clerk accidentally sneezes on a hierarchical superior at the opera, which results in great embarrassment and hilarious and futile attempts at atonement. The other short stories included in this volume, A Calculated Marriage, The Culprit, The Exclamation Mark, The Speechmaker, Who Is to Blame, and A Defenceless Creature are in the same absurdly comical vein. |

«Литературное наследие русского писателя и драматурга Антона Павловича Чехова — он же Антоша, он же Человек без селезенки, он же Брат моего брата, он же Антоша Чехонте — составляет более 30 томов. А.П. Чехов за всю свою творческую жизнь не написал ни одного романа, он — признанный мастер «короткой прозы», но каждый его рассказ — это вся человеческая жизнь в ее трагикомической полноте. Стиль А.П. Чехова — отточенный и филигранный, язык прост и лаконичен. Л.Н. Толстой, хваля рассказы Чехова, говорил, что у него каждая деталь «либо нужна, либо прекрасна».» |

In the Twilight, the third collection of short stories compiled by Anton Chekhov himself, was his first major success and won him the prestigious Pushkin Prize when it was published in 1887. This volume represents a clear milestone in the writer's passage from the youthful Antosha Chekhonte, author of slight comic sketches, to the mature master of the short-story genre. |

This second volume of Chekhov's stories draws from his work of the 1880s and 90s and comprises A Daughter of Albion, An Incident, A Dreary Story, The Duel, The Chorus Girl, Ward 6, The Teacher of Literature, An Artist's Story, My Life, The Darling and The Lady with the Dog. |

In the final years of his life, Chekhov had reached the height of his powers as a dramatist, and also produced some of the stories that rank among his masterpieces. The poignant The Lady with the Little Dog and About Love examine the nature of love outside of marriage — its romantic idealism and the fear of disillusionment. And in stories such as Peasants, The House with the Mezzanine and My Life Chekhov paints a vivid picture of the conditions of the poor and of their powerlessness in the face of exploitation and hardship. With the works collected here, Chekhov moved away from the realism of his earlier tales — developing a broader range of characters and subject matter, while forging the spare minimalist style that would inspire such modern short-story writers as Hemingway and Faulkner. |

Contains: Ward No. 6, The Black Monk, The Grasshopper, The Two Volodyas, A Woman's Kingdom, The Student, Three Years, Murder, Ariadna Chekhov believed that a writer should not provide solutions but should describe a situation so truthfully that the reader can no longer evade it. These stories depict extreme forms of mental experience — depression, religious fanaticism, megalomania — and more everyday feelings of boredom, frustration, and alienation. In each story, the characters experience moments of insight or spiritual epiphany in which they come face to face with the truth of their existence. |
