Chekhov Anton Pavlovich Bücher

In this collection of 20 short stories, the editor Richard Ford has selected his personal favourites of Chekhov's work. Includes are The Kiss, The Darling, as well as lesser known tales such as A Blunder, Hush and Champagne.

The first complete American translation of Chekhov's ten vaudevilles. The comedic one-act farces The Bear, The Proposal, On the Harmful Effects of Tobacco, The Night Before the Trial, On the High Road, The Wedding, The Anniversary, A Tragic Role, and Tatyana Repina. These are jewels for the stage -- ready to use for actors and directors, and for students of drama who wish to enrich their appreciation of the virtuosity and complexity of this great Russian playwright. Chekhov wrote these confections early in his career, before he tuned to his serious plays. All ten have been newly (and faithfully) translated and assembled in a unique collection here, to make them fresh and accessible for contemporary actors and audiences. An introduction is included for literary historical perspective, as well as a glossary and pronunciation guide for the actor's usage.

Tschechow lässt in seinen Theaterstücken äußerlich wenig geschehen – och seine Figuren schaffen in den Dialogen mit ihren Andeutungen und Halbausgesprochenem eine Stimmung und innere Spannung, in der sich bis heute Zuschauer und Leser wiedererkennen. In Tschechows letztem Stück blicken die Bewohner und Gäste eines Landgutes dessen Verkauf und der Abholzung des herrlichen Kirschgartens ins Auge, und jeder stellt sich auf seine Weise zu diesem Untergang einer alten Welt.
