The Life of Anton Chekhov

"Three years spent searching, deciphering, and understanding documents have convinced me that nothing in these archives can discredit or vulgarize Chekhov. The result is just the opposite: the complexity and depth of the writer's figure become even more obvious when... we are able to explain his human virtues and flaws" — this is the position of the author of the book, the renowned British literary scholar, Professor Donald Rayfield of the University of London. This unique biographical study, remarkable in its scale, presents a comprehensive account of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov's life. Written in a light and informal yet academic manner, it is a true sensation. This edition for the first time includes a chapter "In Search of Chekhov's Daughter" — the result of new, long-term research by the esteemed author.
