Paperback. Etat : Fair. Anton Chekhov's popularity in the west is without parallel for a foreign writer. He has been absorbed into our culture, and accepted as one of our own.

Paperback. Etat : Good. Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, the highly acclaimed translators of War and Peace, Doctor Zhivago, and Anna Karenina, which was an Oprah Book Club pick and million-copy bestseller, bring their unmatched talents to The Selected Stories of Anton Chekhov, a collection of thirty of Chekhov's best tales from the major periods of his creative life.

Hardback. Etat : Good. Anton Chekhov remarked toward the close of his life that people would stop reading him a year after his death. But his literary stature and popularity have grown steadily with the years, and he is accounted the single most important influence on the development of the modern short story. Edited and with an introduction by Avrahm Yarmolinsky, The Portable Chekhov presents twenty-eight of Chekhov's best stories, chosen as particularly representative of his many-sided portrayal of the human comedy--including The Kiss, The Darling, and In the Ravine--as well as two complete plays; The Boor, an example of Chekhov's earlier dramatic work, and The Cherry Orchard, his last and finest play. In addition, this volume includes a selection of letters, candidly revealing of Chekhov's impassioned convictions on life and art, his high aspirations, his marriage, and his omnipresent compassion.…

Etat : Very Good. Anton Chekhov The Major Plays Ivanov * The Sea Gull * Uncle Vanya * The Three Sisters * The Cherry Orchard "Let the things that happen onstage be just as complex and yet just as simple as they are in life," Chekhov once declared. "For instance, people are having a meal, just having a meal, but at the same time, their happiness is being created, or their lives are being smashed up." So it is that his plays express life through subtle construction, everyday dialogue, and an electrically charged atmosphere in which even the most casual words and actions assume great importance in his characters' lives. This principle sets his plays apart from the rest, steering them clear of melodrama, and draws the audience into the lives of Chekhov's colorful characters. Because of his adherence to realism, the playwright has been called an "incomparable artist of life."* "What makes his work great is that it can be felt and understood not only by any Russian but by anybody in the world."-*Leo Tolstoy With a Foreword by Robert Brusteinand an Afterword by Rosamund Bartlett.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. The works of Russia's greatest playwright, Anton Chekhov, masterfully blend comedy and pathos, creating a richness of texture and characterization rarely seen since Shakespeare. With Three Sisters (1901), his portrait of the Prozorov family's elusive dream of returning from the provinces to an idealized Moscow, he captured a restlessness and yearning which remain enduringly modern. In Paul Schmidt's version the basis for the Wooster Group's acclaimed adaptation Brace Up! we can perceive, for the first time in English, a refreshingly clear and colloquial style we instinctively know as Chekhov's own.…
