The Cherry Orchard

The book includes the masterpieces of the great Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov – the plays "The Cherry Orchard", "The Seagull" and "Uncle Vanya". In his plays of those years, Chekhov focused primarily on mood and characters, showing that they can be more important than plots. It seems that nothing special happens to his lonely, often desperate characters, but their internal conflicts acquire great significance. Chekhov, a literary artist of laconic precision, reveals the secret motives of his characters. He described Russian life of his time with the help of a deceptively simple technique, devoid of intrusive literary devices, and he is considered an outstanding representative of the Russian realist school of the late 19th century.
