The Lady with the Dog and Other Stories (Dodo Press)

Description

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860-1904) was a Russian short story writer and a playwright. His playwriting career produced four classics, while his best short stories are held in high esteem by writers and critics. Chekhov practiced as a doctor throughout most of his literary career: "Medicine is my lawful wife, " he once said, "and literature is my mistress". Chekhov renounced the theatre after the disastrous reception of The Seagull in 1896; but the play was revived to acclaim by Constantin Stanislavski's Moscow Art Theatre, which subsequently also produced Uncle Vanya and premiered Chekhov's last two plays, Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard. These four works present a special challenge to the acting ensemble as well as to audiences, because in place of conventional action Chekhov offers a "theatre of mood" and a "submerged life in the text". His originality consists in an early use of the stream-of-consciousness technique combined with a disavowal of the moral finality of traditional story structure.

The Witch and Other Stories (Webster's Estonian Thesaurus Edition)

Description

Webster's paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings in English courses. By using a running English-to-Estonian thesaurus at the bottom of each page, this edition of The Witch and Other Stories by Anton Chekhov was edited for three audiences. The first includes Estonian-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL� or TOEIC� preparation program. The second audience includes English-speaking students enrolled in bilingual education programs or Estonian speakers enrolled in English-speaking schools. The third audience consists of students who are actively building their vocabularies in Estonian in order to take foreign service, translation certification, Advanced Placement� (AP�) or similar examinations. By using the Webster's Estonian Thesaurus Edition when assigned for an English course, the reader can enrich their vocabulary in anticipation of an examination in Estonian or English.

Stories of Chekhov

Description

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860-1904) was a Russian short-story writer, playwright and physician, considered to be one of the greatest short-story writers in the history of world literature. His career as a dramatist produced four classics and his best short stories are held in high esteem by writers and critics. Chekhov practiced as a doctor throughout most of his literary career: "Medicine is my lawful wife", he once said, "and literature is my mistress."

Chekhov had at first written stories only for financial gain, but as his artistic ambition grew, he made innovations which have influenced the evolution of the modern short story. His originality consists in an early use of the stream-of-consciousness technique, later adopted by James Joyce and other modernists, combined with a disavowal of the moral ending of traditional story structure.
