The Dramatic Story of a Life,
By Dag Stomberg (St. Andrews, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chekhov: Scenes from a Life (Paperback)
Did Chekhov use autobiographical material for his fiction? Some
perhaps, he did deny it though! Maxim Gorky's description of Anton Chekhov, "beautifully simple himself, he loved everything simple, real, and sincere." Now is the time for retranslating Chekhov. There are few who have responded: Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky (not this book). Professor Rosamund Bartlett translations are made from texts and notes hitherto unavailable. All of the above mentioned have seen the changes in language over the years and have done something about rendering Chekhov into contemporary English. This is a book about where he travelled to and scenes in which he lived. All to the good for our better understanding and appreciation of this extraordinary author.
