The Black Monk and Other Stories

Více o knize

Chekhov's literary career is marked by a unique blend of his medical background and innovative storytelling techniques. Renowned for his impactful short stories and four classic plays, he initially faced setbacks, such as the poor reception of The Seagull. However, his work was later celebrated by the Moscow Art Theatre, which revived his plays, including Uncle Vanya and his final masterpieces, Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard. Chekhov's originality lies in his early use of stream-of-consciousness and a rejection of conventional narrative morality.
