Maxim Gorky said that no one understood "the tragedy of life's trivialities" as clearly as Anton Chekhov, widely considered the father of the modern short story and the modern play. Chekhov's singular ability to speak volumes with a single, impeccably chosen word, mesh comedy and pathos, and capture life's basic sadness as he entertains us, are why so many aspire to emulate him. How to Write Like Chekhov meticulously cherry-picks from Chekhov's plays, stories, and letters to his publisher, brother, and friends, offering suggestions and observations on subjects including plot and characters (and their names), descriptions and dialogue, and what to emphasize and avoid. This is a uniquely clear roadmap to Chekhov's intelligence and artistic expertise and an essential addition to the writing-guide shelf.

'the greatest short story writer who has ever lived' Raymond Carver's unequivocal verdict on Chekhov's genius has been echoed many times by writers as diverse as Katherine Mansfield, Somerset Maugham, John Cheever and Tobias Wolf. While his popularity as a playwright has sometimes overshadowed his achievements in prose, the importance of Chekhov's stories is now recognized by readers as well as by fellow authors. Their themes - alienation, the absurdity and tragedy of human existence - have as much relevance today as when they were written, and these superb new translations capture their modernist spirit. Elusive and subtle, spare and unadorned, the stories in this selection are among Chekhov's most poignant and lyrical. They include well-known pieces such as 'The Lady with the Little Dog', as well as less familiar work like 'Gusev', inspired by Chekhov's travels in the Far East, and 'Rothschild's Violin', a haunting and darkly humorous tale about death and loss.

This stunning new translation presents the only truly complete edition of the plays of one of the greatest dramatists in history. Anton Chekhov is a unique force in modern drama, his works interpreted and adapted internationally and beloved for their brilliant wit and understanding of the human condition. This volume contains work never previously translated, including the newly discovered farce The Power of Hypnotism, the first version of Ivanov, Chekhov's early humorous dialogues, and a description of lost plays and those Chekhov intended to write but never did.
Comprising four one-act comic vaudevilles and four short stories adapted for the stage by Michael Frayn, The Sneeze introduces readers to a less familiar selection of work by one of the greatest precursors of modern drama. First published in 1989, this reissue includes The Sneeze; The Alien Corn; The Bear; The Evils of Tobacco; The Inspector-General; Swan Song; The Prospect, and Plots. Michael Frayn's translations of Chekhov's work marry the expertise of the translator with the innate understanding of a master dramatist and are widely regarded as the truest, most authentic renderings of Chekhov's work: 'His keen imaginative sympathy with the great Russian dramatist extends beyond translation ... But translation is an art at which he excels.' Spectator

This exciting anthology of one-act plays includes classics such as Anton Chekhov's "The Boor" and John Millington Synge's "Riders to the Sea" as well as lesser-known gems such as Alice Gerstenberg's "Fourteen" and Percival Wilde's "The Sequel." Other plays in the collection include August Strindberg's "The Stronger," Moliere's "The Pretentious Young Ladies," Neith Boyce's "Enemies," Horace Holley's "The Genius," Susan Glaspell's "Trifles," and Ferenc Molnar's "A Matter of Husbands." Best of all, every play in this anthology is in the public domain and may, therefore, be performed without paying royalties, making this a great resource for theatres or schools with limited budgets.
"Nothing's new Everything's old. I'm exactly the same as ever Only more lazy More aimless More curmudgeonly...' One of the high points of world drama, Chekhov's bittersweet tale of frustrated lives and unrequited loves - by turns witty, playful, nostalgic and tragic - is captured in all its complexity by Bryony Lavery's spirited, sharply-written adaptation, first produced at Birmingham Rep in 2007."
I know now, Kostya, I understand that in our work - doesn't matter whether it's acting or writing - what's important isn't fame or glamour, none of the things I used to dream about, it's the ability to endure. The Seagull is one of the great plays about writing. It superbly captures the struggle for new forms, the frustrations and fulfilments of putting words on a page. Chekhov, in his first major play, staged a vital argument about the theatre which still resonates today. Christopher Hampton's new version of this classic, directed by Ian Rickson in his last production as Artistic Director of the Royal Court Theatre, London, premiered in January 2007.
"Voobsche mnogo v Moskve psikhopatov, tak mnogo, chto zdorovykh ljudej prikhoditsja teper iskat s ognem ili s gorodovymi..." - ostroumno zametil Chekhov. Nervnost v ego proizvedenijakh prevraschaetsja v khudozhestvennuju filosofiju, stanovitsja uznavaemoj chertoj ego geroev. Sovremennikov porazhalo, naskolko ubeditelno Chekhov pokazyvaet razlichnye dushevnye sostojanija - volnenie, strakh, pripadok, dushevnuju bolezn. Obrazovanie, poluchennoe na meditsinskom fakultete Moskovskogo universiteta, i vrachebnaja praktika pomogli Chekhovu-pisatelju vplotnuju podojti k osmysleniju chelovecheskoj prirody, vyrabotat sobstvennyj metod raskrytija tajnykh dvizhenij dushi, sochetajuschij meditsinskuju tochnost nabljudenij i podlinnuju khudozhestvennost. V izdanie voshli takie izvestnye proizvedenija Chekhova, kak "Pripadok", "Palata No 6", "Chernyj monakh" i drugie.

Dramaturgija - iskusstvo osoboe. Kak izvestno, sovremenniki Chekhova v vosprijatii ego pes razdelilis na dva lagerja. Gorjachie poklonniki Khudozhestvennogo teatra natalkivalis na vezhlivoe ravnodushie ili otkrovennuju neprijazn dazhe tekh, kto byl vesma raspolozhen k Chekhovu-prozaiku. "Chekhov - nesomnennyj talant, no pesy ego plokhie. V nikh ne reshajutsja voprosy, net soderzhanija", - ne raz povtorjal v besedakh L. Tolstoj. "Pesy ego daleko ne luchshee iz napisannogo im..." - govoril I. Bunin. V XX veke mnogoe izmenilos. S razvitiem rezhisserskogo teatra drama kak tekst utratila svoe znachenie - ona zhivet i umiraet v spektakle. I tolko nemnogie pesy - navernoe, oni i nazyvajutsja klassikoj - neobkhodimo ne tolko videt na stsene, no i chitat.

Luchshie proizvedenija neprevzojdennogo mastera korotkogo rasskaza i pesy Antona Pavlovicha Chekhova v odnom komplekte! Ego jumoristicheskie rasskazy polny tonkoj ironii i glubokogo psikhologizma, a takzhe vyvereny do poslednej bukvy: nichego lishnego. A sereznye povesti pisatelja pozvoljajut chetko opredelit ego firmennyj stil - nekuju "skrytost" avtora za nedogovorennostjami i neodnoznachnoe otnoshenie k svoim personazham.
