Chekhov on Writing
ByPublisher Description
Considered a pioneer of the short story genre and a trailblazer in modern fiction, Anton Chekhov (1860–1904) started writing at age 20. By 27, he had shifted from traditional storytelling methods to examining the experiences of everyday individuals in mundane circumstances. His evocative portrayals of Russian life and the complexities of human existence resonate with deep emotional sincerity. Chekhov published hundreds of short stories, earning acclaim from a diverse audience, including contemporaries like Leo Tolstoy. Chekhov shared insights into the writing process, offered guidance to aspiring writers, and mentored his brother, Alexander. This anthology showcases Chekhov’s wisdom through quotations from his letters, conversations, notebooks, and works, providing essential lessons in emotional depth and authentic representation of human experiences—an excellent compendium for students, journalists, and writers of every genre.
