Weddings, Pities, Sufferings

“On the wall is a map of Africa, apparently unnecessary to anyone here,” - a remark at the beginning of the play «Uncle Vanya». It is necessary to explain in the annotation why and for whom we are publishing a... collection of works by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, and even calling it «Weddings, Pities, Sufferings». Armen Zakaryan, a literary Don Quixote in the internet space, wrote an article for this collection - «How Anton Chekhov Changed Literature». Armen proved that by bringing the lives of ordinary people to the pages, A.P. Chekhov, a modest doctor, transformed the literature of the entire 20th century and easily jumps into the 21st century. A.P. Chekhov, as the best provider of quality content, analyzes all life situations: from birth, weddings, family life to illnesses and funerals. From fame and talent - to mediocrity and dullness. Everything is in a major key and without vulgarity. A.P. Chekhov criticizes vulgarity worse than adultery. «Weddings, Pities, Sufferings» - because one girl runs away from the altar to become a teacher and go to the city. Another, married and pregnant, has come to hate her beloved husband in one evening and loses her child. The third, with a little dog, truly loves for the first time, while the fourth loves only the stage and herself on it, and not even her own son. In a contradictory way, the medical precision of A.P. Chekhov, determining the diagnosis of any family or individual, lifts the spirits like a good talk show. Therefore, this book is for those who love and appreciate Russian literature and its greatest servants.
