Meer over het boek

Chekhov's literary career is marked by his dual identity as a doctor and a playwright, reflecting his belief that medicine was his primary commitment while literature was his passion. His notable plays, including The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters, and The Cherry Orchard, showcase his innovative use of stream-of-consciousness and a departure from conventional moral resolutions in storytelling. Despite initial setbacks, his work gained renewed appreciation, particularly through productions by the Moscow Art Theatre, solidifying his legacy in both literature and drama.
