Konstantin Stanislavski (1863-1938) was ŽŽn van de meest invloedrijke theaterregisseurs van de 20e eeuw en tevens mede-oprichter van het beroemde Moskous Kunsttheater.Anton Tsjechov (1860-1904) was de belangrijkste toneelschrijver van zijn tijd wiens laatste drie toneelstukken spraakmakende premires in het Kunsttheater beleefden.Hun samenwerking is vastgelegd in een briefwisseling die een bijzondere kijk geeft op de ontstaansgeschiedenis van theaterproducties als ÔDe meeuwÕ en ÔDe kersentuinÕ.
Voor wie wat huiverig is om direct aan zijn verzamelde werken te beginnen, biedt de onvervalste 'whodunnit' Drama op de jacht , die Anton P. Tsjechov (1860-1904) op zijn 24ste schreef, een onbekommerde kennismaking met zijn werk. In Anne Stoffels prachtige vertaling (uit onze vermaarde Russische Bibliotheek) treden onder meer op: een verteller, een politieman, een ontaarde graaf die zijn geld erdoor jaagt en drinkt, een beeldschoon meisje, wonend in het bos van de graaf, met haar vader die houtvester is en krankzinnig, en een uiterst onsympathieke Pool die de graaf grote bedragen afhandig maakt. Door de kracht waarmee Tsjechov hartstocht, dronkenschap, beestachtigheid en valsheid op papier zet, en door de verrassende ontknoping, mag Drama op de jacht uniek heten in de detectiveliteratuur.

This leading edge work by Esther and Jerry Hicks, who present the teachings of Abraham, will help you understand every relationship you are currently involved in as well as every relationship you have ever experienced. This book uncovers a myriad of false premises that are at the heart of every uncomfortable relationship issue, and guides you to a clear understanding of the powerful creative Vortex that has already assembled the relationships that you have desired. Abraham will show you how to enter that Vortex, where you will rendezvous with everything and everyone you have been looking for. Abraham says: "It is our desire to help you to solve the mystery of those seemingly impossible relationships; to sort out the details of joyously sharing your planet with billions of others; to rediscover the beauty of your differences; and, most of all, to re-establish the most important relationship of all: your relationship with the Eternal, Non-Physical Source that is really you. "It is our desire that you experience an enhanced appreciation of your planet; your body; your family; your friends; your enemies; your government; your systems; your food; your finances; your animals; your work and your play; your purpose; your Source; your Soul; your past, your future, and your present. . . .
“Seth, your house is on fire!” From that opening exclamation, this second Sara novel rampages through chapter after chapter of fun and adventure. Solomon (the owl from the first book who “speaks without moving his lips”) reappears and gives Sara and her classmate Seth a fresh and enlightening perspective on life on this planet. Simply put, these two adventurous, tree-climbing friends dialogue with their feathered mentor regarding their varied (and sometimes confusing) experiences with parents, teachers, other students, and neighbors. The clarity, understanding, and wisdom that Solomon gives them results in some surprisingly practical views on the rules of the game of life.
Anton Chekhov, widely hailed as the supreme master of the short story, also wrote five works long enough to be called short novels. Here, brought together in one volume for the first time, in a masterly new translation by the award-winning translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky.The Steppe—the most lyrical of the five—is an account of a nine-year-old boy’s frightening journey by wagon train across the steppe of southern Russia. The Duel sets two decadent figures—a fanatical rationalist and a man of literary sensibility—on a collision course that ends in a series of surprising reversals. In The Story of an Unknown Man, a political radical spying on an important official by serving as valet to his son gradually discovers that his own terminal illness has changed his long-held priorities in startling ways. Three Years recounts a complex series of ironies in the personal life of a rich but passive Moscow merchant. In My Life, a man renounces wealth and social position for a life of manual labor.The resulting conflict between the moral simplicity of his ideals and the complex realities of human nature culminates in a brief apocalyptic vision that is unique in Chekhov’s work.(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed) From the Hardcover edition.

From the celebrated, award-winning translators of Anna Karenina and The Brothers Karamazov: a lavish volume of stories by one of the most influential short fiction writers of all time. Anton Chekhov left an indelible impact on every literary form in which he wrote, but none more so than short fiction. Now, renowned translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky give us their renderings of fifty-two Chekhov stories. These stories, which span the complete arc of his career, reveal the extraordinary variety and unexpectedness of his work, from the farcically comic to the darkly complex, showing that there is no one single type of “Chekhov story.” They are populated by a remarkable range of characters who come from all parts of Russia and all walks of life, including landowners, peasants, soldiers, farmers, teachers, students, hunters, shepherds, mistresses, wives, and children. Taken together, they demonstrate how Chekhov democratized the form. Included in this volume are tales translated into English for the first time, including “Reading” and “An Educated Blockhead.” Early stories such as “Joy,” “Anguish,” and “A Little Joke” sit alongside such later works as “The Siren,” “Big Volodya and Little Volodya,” “In the Cart,” and “About Love.” In its range, in its narrative artistry, and in its perceptive probing of the human condition, this collection promises profound delight.

At the heart of the ongoing debate about education and training for young people are two crucial questions: What defines an educated 19-year-old today? Are our inherited educational models adequate for all young people and the broader community's needs? This work addresses these questions based on five years of evidence from the Nuffield Review of 14-19 Education and Training, the most thorough investigation of this educational phase in decades. The authors, co-directors of the Review, offer a critical and comprehensive overview of 14-19 education and training, proposing necessary changes for the next decade and beyond. They acknowledge the progress made through government investments, collaboration among educational institutions, and the recognition of diverse qualifications. They highlight the creativity and dedication seen in many secondary classrooms, where efforts to support disadvantaged youth are commendable. However, they advocate for a radical transformation towards a broader educational vision that values practical and active learning, an assessment system that enhances rather than detracts from learning, respect for teachers' expertise, a unified qualification system for smoother transitions to higher education and employment, collaborative local learning systems, and a more reflective policy-making approach. This work is essential reading for anyone involved in or interested in secondary education in England and Wa
In the final years of his life, Chekhov had reached the height of his powers as a dramatist, and also produced some of the stories that rank among his masterpieces. The poignant �The Lady with the Little Dog� and �About Love� examine the nature of love outside of marriage � its romantic idealism and the fear of disillusionment. And in stories such as �Peasants�, �The House with the Mezzanine� and �My Life� Chekhov paints a vivid picture of the conditions of the poor and of their powerlessness in the face of exploitation and hardship. With the works collected here, Chekhov moved away from the realism of his earlier tales � developing a broader range of characters and subject matter, while forging the spare minimalist style that would inspire such modern short-story writers as Hemingway and Faulkner.
This is a collection of Chekhov's most lyrical stories in a new translation of great skill and originality, published in 2004 to coincide with the centenary of Chekhov's death.

The funny thing is the harder I work the more clearly I understand things. When I'm worn out after a day's work then it's like my brain relaxes. And sometimes then I get it. The meaning of my life. My purpose on this earth. How many people ever get to say that? And you know what? It doesn't matter. Doesn't change anything. It is not important. In Chekhov's tragi-comedy - arguably his most popular play - the Gayev family is torn by powerful forces deeply rooted in history and the society in which they live.
