| Collected in this volume are five of Chekhov's most popular dramatic works: "Ivanov", "The Sea-Gull", "Uncle Vanya", "Three Sisters" and "The Cherry Orchard". Firstly in "Ivanov" we find the taut psychological drama of Nikolai Ivanov, a man who is severely conflicted by the illness of his wife, his mounting debts, and his own internal desires. Secondly, "The Sea-Gull" is the story of the romantic and artistic conflicts between four main characters: Nina, the daughter of a wealthy landowner; Madame Irina Arkadina, a once leading actress; Konstantin Treplyov, her son and a playwright; and Trigorin, a well-known writer. Thirdly, "Uncle Vanya" is a melancholic portrait of a cast of characters examining their respective miseries and failures to accomplish in their lives that which they might have hoped to. Fourthly, "Three Sisters" is a story which concerns the lives of an aristocratic family, the Prozorovs, who struggle to search for meaning in the modern world. Lastly "The Cherry Orchard" is the tale of an aristocratic Russian woman and her family who return to their estate, a cherry orchard, to oversee its auction in order to pay the mortgage. Taken together this collection of dramas exhibits Chekhov's literary prowess and provides a brilliant portrait for the dramatic social environment of Russia at the turn of the 20th century. This edition is printed on a premium acid-free paper and follows the translations of Marian Fell and Julius West. |
