About the author
Born in Taganrog, Russia, in 1860, Chekhov grew up in a struggling family and later studied medicine in Moscow. To help support his family, he began publishing comic sketches and short pieces, but his writing quickly deepened into something richer: clear-eyed, humane, and quietly devastating.
Chekhov became famous for stories that captured everyday life without melodrama and for plays that changed modern drama by focusing on mood, character, and the tensions beneath ordinary conversation. Alongside his literary work, he practiced medicine, and that double life as physician and writer helped shape his calm, observant view of people.
He died in 1904 in Badenweiler, Germany, but his influence never faded. Readers still return to him for his wit, compassion, and remarkable ability to make small moments reveal whole lives.
