About the author
Born in Taganrog, Russia, in 1860, Anton Chekhov grew up in a struggling family and went on to study medicine in Moscow. While supporting his family, he began publishing comic sketches and stories, and what started as practical work for income turned into one of the great literary careers of the 19th century.
Chekhov became celebrated both as a short-story writer and as a playwright. He is widely associated with a new kind of storytelling: subtle, observant, and deeply interested in ordinary people, small choices, and the moods that shape a life. His plays, including The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters, and The Cherry Orchard, helped change modern theater, while his stories remain famous for their clarity, compassion, and emotional precision.
He continued to write even while practicing medicine and dealing with serious illness. Chekhov died in 1904 in Badenweiler, Germany, but his influence has only grown. Today he is remembered as one of the defining voices of Russian literature and one of the finest short-story writers in any language.
