Tungkol sa ebook na ito
Swansong is an 1887 play by Anton Chekhov, based on his own story "Calchas", concerning an elderly actor. Swang Song is a great look at lost life and regrets, career over personal relationships and that one drunk friend you just cannot get rid off because he keeps babbling on way into the early hours.
Tungkol sa may-akda
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860-1904) was a Russian playwright and short-story writer whose works have left an indelible mark on world literature. Born in Taganrog, Russia, Chekhov grew up in a family plagued by financial difficulties and an abusive father, which profoundly influenced his later writings. Despite these hardships, he pursued a medical degree at Moscow State University and practiced as a physician throughout his life, famously stating, "Medicine is my lawful wife, and literature is my mistress."Chekhov's literary career began with humorous sketches, but he soon evolved into a master of the short story and drama, known for his keen psychological insight and subtle, often tragic, exploration of the human condition. His plays, such as "The Seagull," "Uncle Vanya," "Three Sisters," and "The Cherry Orchard," revolutionized the theater by focusing on character development and internal conflict rather than melodrama and plot twists.Controversially, Chekhov often depicted the Russian intelligentsia's existential ennui and the socio-political stagnation of his time, which resonated deeply with contemporary audiences and critics. His innovative narrative techniques, such as the use of subtext and the "stream of consciousness," influenced a myriad of 20th-century writers, including James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and Raymond Carver.Chekhov's commitment to social issues extended beyond his writing. He undertook a grueling journey to the penal colony of Sakhalin Island, documenting the appalling conditions and advocating for reform. This humanitarian endeavor showcased his deep empathy and commitment to social justice.Despite his relatively short life, Chekhov's works continue to be celebrated for their timeless exploration of human nature, making him a pivotal figure in both Russian and global literature.
