Summary

"Letters of Anton Chekhov to His Family and Friends" by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov is a collection of personal letters that gives a peek into the life of the writer. The letters show Chekhov's journey from a struggling author to a famous one, and they let us see his thoughts and relationships during the late 1800s. He writes about his family, friends, and the problems he had to face, which helps us understand who he was and what life was like back then. Early in the book, Chekhov's letters show his caring and funny personality, and also how much he loved his family. He advises his brother Misha to value himself and appreciates reading, and he talks about his everyday travels with both humor and sadness.

About the Author

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was a Russian playwright and short-story writer. His career as a playwright produced four classics, and his best short stories are held in high esteem by writers and critics. Along with Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg, Chekhov is often referred to as one of the three seminal figures in the birth of early modernism in the theatre. Chekhov was a physician by profession. "Medicine is my lawful wife," he once said, "and literature is my mistress."
