Chekhov Anton Knihy

From the teenager in provincial Russia in 1875 to his premature death in Germany in 1904, the author wrote over 4,500 letters to a range of correspondents, including family and friends, his publisher and fellow writers - not to mention actresses. This book presents these letters which tell the story of the author's life as a man and a writer.

Of the two hundred stories that Anton Chekhov wrote, the twenty stories that appear in this extraordinary collection were personally chosen by Richard Ford--an accomplished storyteller in his own right. Included are the familiar masterpieces--"The Kiss," "The Darling," and "The Lady with the Dog"--as well as several brilliant lesser-known tales such as "A Blunder," "Hush!," and "Champagne." These stories, ordered from 1886 to 1899, are drawn from Chekhov's most fruitful years as a short-story writer. A truly balanced selection, they exhibit the qualities that make Chekhov one of the greatest fiction writers of all time: his gift for detail, dialogue, and humor; his emotional perception and compassion; and his understanding that life's most important moments are often the most overlooked. "The reason we like Chekhov so much, now at our century's end," writes Ford in his perceptive introduction, "is because his stories from the last century's end feel so modern to us, are so much of our own time and mind." Exquisitely translated by the renowned Constance Garnett, these stories present a wonderful opportunity to introduce yourself--or become reaquainted with--an artist whose genius and influence only increase with every passing generation.

From the celebrated, award-winning translators of Anna Karenina and The Brothers Karamazov: a lavish volume of stories by one of the most influential short fiction writers of all time. Anton Chekhov left an indelible impact on every literary form in which he wrote, but none more so than short fiction. Now, renowned translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky give us their renderings of fifty-two Chekhov stories. These stories, which span the complete arc of his career, reveal the extraordinary variety and unexpectedness of his work, from the farcically comic to the darkly complex, showing that there is no one single type of “Chekhov story.” They are populated by a remarkable range of characters who come from all parts of Russia and all walks of life, including landowners, peasants, soldiers, farmers, teachers, students, hunters, shepherds, mistresses, wives, and children. Taken together, they demonstrate how Chekhov democratized the form. Included in this volume are tales translated into English for the first time, including “Reading” and “An Educated Blockhead.” Early stories such as “Joy,” “Anguish,” and “A Little Joke” sit alongside such later works as “The Siren,” “Big Volodya and Little Volodya,” “In the Cart,” and “About Love.” In its range, in its narrative artistry, and in its perceptive probing of the human condition, this collection promises profound delight.

Celosvetovo známy dramatik a prozaik Anton Pavlovič Čechov (1860 – 1904) podnikol v roku 1890 na svoju dobu bezprecedentnú cestu naprieč celým Ruskom na ostrov nútených prác – ostrov Sachalin. Zámerom spisovateľa bolo poukázať na rozpor medzi oficiálnym pohľadom na sachalinskú skutočnosť a objektívnymi výsledkami jeho výskumu; vytvoriť pravdivý obraz založený na presných faktoch, obraz ruských nútených prác a vzbudiť v spoločnosti záujem o „miesta neznesiteľných útrap“. Čechov trpiaci tuberkulózou, ktorou sa nakazil od jedného zo svojich pacientov, postupne zhromaždil usvedčujúce fakty o živote v trestaneckej kolónii a opísal otrasný život vyhnancov v cárskej ríši. Samotný Sachalin označil za „stelesnenie pekla“ a „miesto všadeprítomného zla“. Výsledkom jeho cesty bola kniha Ostrov Sachalin, ktorá doslova otriasla ruskou verejnosťou. „Ak by pán Čechov okrem tejto knihy už nič iné nenapísal, jeho meno by aj tak bolo navždy zapísané do histórie ruskej literatúry.“ Takto hodnotili Ostrov Sachalin novinové články. A čoskoro došlo k niečomu pre Rusko nevídanému: po vydaní knihy a obrovskom spoločenskom ohlase bola vláda nútená reformovať legislatívu týkajúcu sa nútených prác a vyhnancov.

The most widely staged dramatist after Shakespeare, Chekhov left a deep mark both on the development of Russian literature and world theatre, with plays that were remarkable not just for their dialogue but their atmosphere and the tensions expressed between the lines. Collected in this volume are Chekhov's four most celebrated plays – The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard – in a brand-new translation by Hugh Aplin. In these personal stories of unfulfilled love, failed ambition and existential ennui, set against a background of unsettling social and economical change, the reader can appreciate the groundbreaking qualities of Chekhov's theatrical genius.

Višňový sad je hra, ktorá sa zaoberá témou zániku starého polofeudálneho poriadku, symbolizovaného predajom višňového sadu, ktorý patrí Madame Ranevsky. Hra slúži ako vynikajúca ukážka Čechovových presných pozorovaní slabostí jeho postáv a zamyslení nad blížiacim sa rozpadom sveta ruskej aristokracie a života na ich veľkých vidieckych majetkoch. Hoci téma a postavy diela sú v istom zmysle nadčasové, dramatická technika hry predstavuje Čechovovu inováciu. V tejto a iných hrách vyvinul koncept „nepriamej akcie“, kde sa dramatická akcia odohráva mimo javiska a význam hry sa sústreďuje na reakcie postáv na tieto neviditeľné udalosti. Tento dielo pozýva každého milovníka divadla alebo veľkej literatúry vstúpiť do sveta Madame Ranevsky, Anya, Gayefa, Lopakhina, Firs a ďalších nezabudnuteľných postáv, ktorých nádeje, obavy, lásky a všeobecná ľudskosť sú v tejto významnej hre svetového dramatu brilantne zobrazené.
