From his teenage years in provincial
Russia to his premature death in 1904, Anton Chekhov wrote thousands of letters
to a wide range of correspondents. This fascinating new selection tells Chekhov's
story as a man and a writer through affectionate bulletins to his family, insightful
discussions of literature with publishers and theater directors, and tender love
letters to his actress wife. Vividly evoking landscapes, people, and his daily
life, the letters offer revealing glimpses into Chekhov's preoccupations - the
onset of tuberculosis, his dual careers as doctor and writer, and his ambivalence
about his growing reputation as Russia's foremost playwright and author. This
volume takes us inside the mind of one of the world's greatest writers, and the
character that emerges from these pages is resilient, generous, charming, and
life enhancing.
