Chekhov: The Hidden Ground
ISBN: 9781566631877 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 443 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Philip Callow s new biography of Russia s greatest dramatist and storyteller is a major achievement. By examining Chekhov s life within the context of the evolution of his art, Mr. Callow makes the reader acutely aware of the hidden ground from which Chekhov s work sprang and on which his divided life stood. Arthur Miller calls Chekhov in nearly every way our contemporary. His irony is as modern as Beckett s; as a letter writer he is as natural and irresistible as D. H. Lawrence. In his personal life he is as understated as in his work. But the love theme that is central to his biography and...
