Anton Chekhov

1860 - 1904
Anton Chekhov

­The most insightful and epoch-defining dramatist Russia has produced, Anton Chekhov wrote, along with many notable short stories, dramas striking in their originality and subtlety.

Chekhov combined a realistic approach with philosophical observation and a strong sense of humanity. At least four of his plays, “The Sea Gull,” “The Cherry Orchard,” “Uncle Vanya” and “Three Sisters” have become famous worldwide, mostly through their interpretations by the Moscow Art Theater.
