The Forest Monster (chekhov's Complete Plays 7)

About This Novel
"The Woodland Monster" is a drama work by Anton Chekhov. It narrates a family story centered on a professor with a weird temper and selfishness. It successfully creates the image of "The Woodland Monster", a doctor with unique ideas but not understood by everyone. It is regarded as a "beautiful dramatic novella". The research community recognizes that "The Forest Monster" is the predecessor of "Uncle Vanya" and is an indispensable part of the complete presentation of Chekhov's drama creation. As Xu Le, the author of the introduction to this book and a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said, "Chekhov never wrote a novel in his life, but he did use "The Forest Monster" as a starting point to create a novel-style drama that had never been seen on the stage before... The playwright tried his best to show people's inner, long-term, habitual depression and the hidden trend of the times in the details of daily conversations, eating and drinking, walking, reading newspapers, and playing cards, in silent pauses or meaningful overtones." This book is the seventh volume of the "Master Guide Edition" of "The Complete Works of Chekhov's Dramas", with audio interpretations of famous scenes from Chekhov's plays. I would like to commemorate the 120th anniversary of Chekhov's death - his stage contains all the pain and expectations of this era.
