"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.

The Fatherless Man (complete Works of Chekhov's Dramas 6)

(russian) Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

106K0

"The Man Without a Father", also known as "Platonov", is a work written by the great dramatist Anton Chekhov when he was studying at the age of 19. Although he was a little immature, he already showed his amazing creative talent. The translator, Mr. Tong Daoming, is a famous drama critic and an industry-recognized expert on Chekhov. The script describes the decline of provincial aristocratic estates and depicts the image of a group of intellectuals, represented by the protagonist Platonov, who have nothing to do and spend their days in melancholy. It is the precursor of a series of "superfluous people" characters at the end of the century created in Chekhov's later works. As the book's introduction author and well-known director Wang Xiaoying said, "Platonov's excellence and sensitivity make him like the nerve endings of the organic whole of human beings. He feels and bears the spiritual distress that belongs to us all before us and is stronger than us... Is Platonov noble or despicable? Tragic or tragic? Is it comic? Will it make people cry or laugh? Should we sympathize with him or despise him? ... The 19-year-old Chekhov leaves today's people at a loss, and the modernity of "The Man Without a Father" may lie in this. "This book is the sixth volume of the "Famous Guide Edition" of "The Complete Works of Chekhov's Plays", with audio interpretations of famous scenes from Chekhov's plays.
