An essay hosted at LiteratureClassics.com Chekhov, Anton Pavlovich      Russian dramatist and short-story writer (1860-1904). One of the most important writers to grow out of the conditions of the pre-Revolutionary Russia was Anton Chekhov. His was a Russia of stagnant atmosphere where the poor suffered from severe want, the rich from idleness and boredom. Intellect and intuition were diverted into unproductive or, at best, official channels. Highly impressionable, Chekhov often complained of the stultifying effect of Russian life: “It is very monotonous and boring; one day is very much like another”, he wrote at 44, shortly before his death. Perhaps his long and severe illness contributes to this General feeling of frustration. The tragedy of a life either not yet lived or already outlived emanates from Chekhov’s plays and stories. His ancestors having been serfs, Chekhov always felt a sincere sympathy for the poor and oppressed, a feeling which was deepened by his contacts as a physician. He aimed at their betterment in his study of peasant life in the censuses he helped conduct and the projects he planned for them (i.e. people’s palace in Moscow). To oppose oppression and to lead the way out of drabness into a more purposeful future were his main concerns.

"He and She" and Other Stories 1880-82 : The Complete Short Stories of Anton Chekhov (Vol 1) Author Info: Anton Chekhov (Translated by Peter Sekirin Humor translates notoriously poorly from age to age and language to language, so imagine trying to render these mostly humorous short stories from Russian to English, a hundred and twenty years after they were written. Some hold up surprisingly wellfor instance one nearly slapstick episode where an anxious suitor tries pitching woo while cursed with the hiccupsbut I have to admit that others went completely over my head. Footnotes might have been helpful, both in explaining some of the author's references and the translator's choices. Just one example : in the story, July 29 (Story of a Hunter who Always Misses) , Mr. Sekirin provides the following translation : Otletaev was as stupid as a bag of hammers... Is this now-common phrase an invention of Chekhov's; was it already in use at the time he wrote; did the translator make an idiomatic Russian phrase into a more recognizable English one? I have no idea and the implications are somewhat significant. If it is a strict translation then Chekhov seems to have contributed an enduringly funny line to a couple of languages. If it is a liberal translation, then how much of what we're reading is Chekhov and how much is the translator? I'm actually not particular, but I would like to know. On the one hand, I don't mind struggling with the idiosyncrasies of a direct translation (like Harvey Mansfield's new version of

Anton Chekhov Born on January 29, 1860, in Taganrog, Russia, on the Sea of Azov, Anton Pavlovich Chekhov would eventually become one of Russia's most cherished storytellers. Especially fond of vaudevilles and French farces, he produced some hilarious one-acts, but it is his full-length tragedies that have secured him a place among the greatest dramatists of all time. Chekhov began writing short stories during his days as a medical student at the University of Moscow. After graduating in 1884 with a degree in medicine, he began to freelance as a journalist and writer of comic sketches. Early in his career, he mastered the form of the one-act and produced several masterpieces of this genre including The Bear (1888) in which a creditor hounds a young widow, but becomes so impressed when she agrees to fight a duel with him, that he proposes marriage, and The Wedding (1889) in which a bridegroom's plans to have a general attend his wedding ceremony backfire when the general turns out to be a retired naval captain "of the second rank". Ivanov (1887), Chekhov's first full-length play, a fairly immature work compared to his later plays, examines the suicide of a young man very similar to Chekhov himself in many ways. His next play
