Despre această carte audio
Audio book collection of Chekhov's short story works featuring: "Talent", "Anyuta", "The Helpmate", "Ivan Matveyitch", "Polinka". Read in English, unabridged, and accompanied by Tchaikovskiy piano music.
In "The Helpmate," the story centers on a woman who is trapped in a loveless marriage and her husband's attempts to find her a suitable replacement. Chekhov deftly uses irony and symbolism to illuminate the characters' inner lives and the futility of their situation. The result is a moving and insightful tale that speaks to the universal experience of longing for love and connection.

Despre autor
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was born in the provincial town of Taganrog, Ukraine, in 1860. In the mid-1880s, Chekhov became a physician, and shortly thereafter he began to write short stories. Chekhov started writing plays a few years later, mainly short comic sketches he called vaudvilles. The first collection of his humorous writings, Motley Stories, appeared in 1886, and his first play, Ivanov, was produced in Moscow the next year. In 1896, the Alexandrinsky Theater in St. Petersburg performed his first full- length drama, The Seagull. Some of Chekhov's most successful plays include The Cherry Orchard, Uncle Vanya, and Three Sisters. Chekhov brought believable but complex personalizations to his characters, while exploring the conflict between the landed gentry and the oppressed peasant classes. Chekhov voiced a need for serious, even revolutionary, action, and the social stresses he described prefigured the Communist Revolution in Russia by twenty years. He is considered one of Russia's greatest playwrights. Chekhov contracted tuberculosis in 1884, and was certain he would die an early death. In 1901, he married Olga Knipper, an actress who had played leading roles in several of his plays. Chekhov died in 1904, spending his final years in Yalta.
