Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) was one of Russia's greatest short story writers, a playwright and a novelist. He worked as a doctor, too, and initially began writing for the financial rewards it presented.
Constance Garnett (1861-1946) was an English translator of nineteenth-century Russian literature. She was the first to translate Dostoyevsky and Chekhov into English and these translations remain highly acclaimed.Les informations fournies dans la section « A propos du livre » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
