The Plays of Anton Chekhov by Anton Chekhov
English translations of Chekhov's classic plays by a Russian-language scholar who is also a veteran Chekhovian actor. Because of Paul Schmidt's expertise in both the theater and Russia, these translations preserve the social context of Chekhov's THE CHERRY ORCHARD, THREE SISTERS, THE SEAGULL, UNCLE VANYA, and other works, while restoring the vitality and humor that are often lost in academic translations.

Swan song -- The bear -- The proposal -- Ivanov -- The seagull -- A reluctant tragic hero -- The wedding reception -- The festivities -- Uncle Vanya -- Three sisters -- The dangers of tobacco -- The cherry orchard.
