Your Anton: Essays on Chekhov's Letters (the Man in the Box: the Collected Works of Chekhov)
by H
About This Novel
A total of more than 300 Chekhov's letters and essays have been selected and translated. Chekhov was modest by nature, did not like to talk eloquently, and rarely wrote critical articles. However, his views on literature and art, his observation of the world, and his evaluation of celebrities of his time are all scattered in letters and essays. Chekhov rarely expressed emotion in his personal letters. Instead, he complained about trivial matters, complained about lack of money, and ridiculed himself like ordinary people. He was seriously ill all year round, but rarely showed sadness; he loved nature, liked sledding, and raised a meerkat; he made various plans, such as planting 60 cherry trees and 80 apple trees, and publishing 1,000 kinds of books. The essay part contains Chekhov's creative reflections, recording the moments of inspiration, from which the prototypes of many masterpieces can be seen. Philosophical and interesting, humorous and venomous.
