Swan Song (complete Chekhov Plays 8)
by H
About This Novel
"Swan Song" is a one-act play by Anton Chekhov, which includes a total of nine one-act plays such as "On the Road", "On the Harm of Tobacco", "Swan Song" and "The Bear". They are all short and interesting. Some works have experimental colors, reflecting Chekhov's special style exploration in one-act plays. Among them, "Swan Song" is the most famous. The play depicts an old comedian who bids farewell to his glorious years. He performs a wonderful last performance with a prompter in an empty backstage, just like the swan's final song. As the introduction author of this book, Professor Peng Tao of the Central Academy of Drama, said, "In the inconspicuous 'small form' of the one-act play, Chekhov's profound gaze on life is integrated with humorous laughter, melancholy temperament and optimistic and open-minded spirit are accompanied, and the 'emotional undercurrent' is organically combined with the development of the plot... Chekhov's one-act play is a key to interpreting his multi-act plays." This book is the 8th 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.
