Amazon.com description: Product Description: BOOK SYNOPSIS
As a schoolboy, Anton Chekhov stole into the local theater at night, dressed as his father, and marveled at the plays of Shakespeare and Moliere. Mesmerized by the characters on the stage, he went on to write his own tragicomedies: The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, The Three Sisters, and The Cherry Orchard.
Setting the playwright in context to his personal life, social, historical and political events, other writers of influence, and more, you will quickly gain a deep understanding of Chekhov and the plays he wrote. Read Chekhov in an Hour and experience his plays like never before. Know the playwright, love the play!
