Synopsis

Chekhov's distinctive feature is his ability to reveal the essence of life from the most ordinary phenomena. He highly downplays the plot and only intercepts ordinary daily life fragments. He uses exquisite artistic details to truly depict and portray life and characters, and to reveal important social phenomena. But he does not fall into the "quagmire" of daily life. On the contrary, his profound realist images are often sublimated into philosophical symbols. In terms of showing the characters' inner world, Chekhov did not focus on explaining the characters' psychological activities in detail, but only tried to see the characters' inner activities and changes from their behaviors.

Reader comments

This book is very interesting. Chekhov can always find the extraordinary in ordinary life, which makes me think about life in a new way. His novels do not have complex plots, but the depictions of characters and life are very real, which made me feel the complexity of human nature and the diversity of society. As the book says, there are things worthy of our attention in the "quagmire of life." It is recommended that you also read it, you will definitely gain something.
