The Cherry Orchard

Three plays by A. P. Chekhov — "The Cherry Orchard" (1904), "The Seagull" (1896) and "Uncle Vanya" (1897) — under one cover. A collectible edition of classics in Russian style in hardcover with an efalin cover with cutouts and foil embossing.

Most likely, these plays will leave you puzzled: why are these people so strange and behave so illogically? And where is the place to laugh if this is a comedy? But these characters — they are us. And not at the end of the 19th century, but at the beginning of the 21st.

A theater innovator, Chekhov himself classified his plays, rather tragic, as comedies, which still sparks debates among literary scholars and critics. By diverting the plot of dramatic works into subtext, he astonishingly accurately depicts life in all its sad and funny manifestations: moments of love and loneliness, festive bustle and everyday worries. And the main character of his plays becomes time — relentless, imperceptible, inevitably changing a person.
