Biographie de l'auteur :
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was born on January 29, 1860, in Taganrog, Russia, the third of six children. His father ran a grocery store and was physically abusive. His mother was a wonderful storyteller. Young Anton attended a school for Greek boys and sang in the choir at the Greek Orthodox Monastery. His father went bankrupt in 1876 and fled to Moscow to avoid prison, leaving Anton behind to sell their belongings and finish his education, which he financed by tutoring and selling goldfinches that he had caught himself. Then he began writing for newspapers. In 1879 he entered medical school in Moscow, becoming a physician in 1884. During his career as a doctor, he treated the poor for free, making most of his money from writing. In 1885, he began showing signs of tuberculosis. Devoting much time to writing plays, he suffered a major lung hemorrhage in 1897, then a year later, his father died and he moved his mother and sister into a house that he built in Yalta. In 1901, Chekhov married Olga Knipper, but he lived in Moscow while he remained in Yalta. Chekhov died on July 15, 1904, from tuberculosis, at the age of 44, in Badenweiler, Germany. He drank a glass of champagne, turned over on his side and passed quietly away. His body was transported back to Moscow inside a refrigerated boxcar filled with oysters. During his funeral, thousands of mourners mistakenly followed the procession of the wrong man. He is buried next to his father.
Présentation de l'éditeur :
Webster's paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings in English courses. By using a running English-to-Icelandic thesaurus at the bottom of each page, this edition of The Witch and Other Stories by Anton Chekhov was edited for three audiences. The first includes Icelandic-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL� or TOEIC� preparation program. The second audience includes English-speaking students enrolled in bilingual education programs or Icelandic speakers enrolled in English-speaking schools. The third audience consists of students who are actively building their vocabularies in Icelandic in order to take foreign service, translation certification, Advanced Placement� (AP�) or similar examinations. By using the Webster's Icelandic Thesaurus Edition when assigned for an English course, the reader can enrich their vocabulary in anticipation of an examination in Icelandic or English.
