I’d like to emphasise that in Russia Chekov is known for his mastery of sarcasm and satire first and foremost. That’s why he is never hard to read unlike some other famous Russian writers. His tongue is cheeky and his stories are bittersweet.

Chekhov is my favorite writer. The three short stories ,which left inedible mark on my mind are Chekhov's 'Lady with the Dog' and other short stories and Gogol's Government Inspector and Maupassant's 'Necklace'.

I grew up with Anton Chekhov's work translated into my native tongue. To this day I love the stories of Uncle Wanja, the Seagull, the Cherry Orchard and the Three Sisters (and other stories)

“Ward No.6” is the most talked about and quoted story in Russia by many generations. If someone wants to criticise someone’s way of life or the path of their ideas they say “Are you from the ward number 6?”

This is my favorite video of yours so far. Chekhov had a huge influence on me through the years. I'm an avid gardener and didn't know about Chekhovs gardening. The point you make about that is very good. Chekhov was a hard worker but he seemed to know what gives most pleasure in life, at least on the serotonin way over the dopamine way. It's very rare to fins a work that is truly chekhovian. Most people focus on the psychology and the sociology. For me it was always the naturalist details he had. The wind in the trees. These sorts of details can give one peace with life, even after suffering. Like the end of Uncle Vanya. Like so so so many of his short stories. You've done a very good job with this video. Chekhov really comes through.

Wow! Stunning life! Almost unbelievable what he did in 44 years

Wonderful! As a lover of literature (a retired English language teacher) this was necter to my ears.

In addition to the authors you mentioned, Tennessee Williams really admired Anton Chekhov, and even wrote an adaptation of The Seagull which he entitled, "The Notebook of Trigorin"
15 |
Thank you so much. Chekov is one of my favorites. Both the short stories and plays, I read again and again. I’ve probably seen seagull in the theater five times.

I am so happy to have found your channel! Thank you so much for all your content and as a Russian, special thank you for covering Russian literature, Chekhov is my favourite, although the does bring a bitter sweet depression on me every single time 😅🎉❤

It amounted to reading around 1,500 pages per month. Many months were over 2,000 pages.
Samuel Richardson's book was from 1748 A.D. and was over 1,800 pages when written. I read the 808 page abridged edition and it was amazing. One of the first writers of English novels wrote one that can be loved today. I almost desire to look up the unabridged to read two of the letters near the end which I missed. The whole story was in letters like "Poor Folk" or "Les Liaisons Dangereuses."
20 of my top 100 books of all time I read this year. I am thinking this year was the best year of reading I've ever had. Neither of Mark Twain's books made the top 100, but they were amazing reads. I was reading him because of a biography by Ron Powers of Mark Twain and I plan to read another biography this year coming up.
This is the year I found out Ivan Turgenev from Russia is my favorite author of all time and will never be surpassed. I plan on reading more of him next year too.

Fiction Beast, I love all your lectures on writers. (All!!) You always capture the essence of them. I love Russian writers. Anton Chekhov, of course he is one of the finest writers' of short stories and plays. The explanation why he was different was perfectly put by your analysis. He saw what was in every day mundane life as lived by the serfs. Captured its realness and what was hidden as in all human beings.
My favorite early short story by Chekhov is "The Kiss," which is in the presence of Chekhov, which is to be simpler, more truthful. He always prevails in his short stories. "The Lady with a Dog," a later one in 1899. All of his plays are brimming with subtlety of existence.
Again, thank you for all your lectures and a very happy 2023. Respectfully and with affection. 💖

Your Russian pronunciation is really good in the beginning, I'm impressed

The Virginia Wolfe quote reminds me of an video essay on David Lynch's final Twin Peaks season where it is asserted that the longing for closure tends to eclipse the more pressing need for balance.

Truly one of the best videos on your channel. Unfortunately, I have not read a lot of Chekhov but after watching this, I'm sure that's going to change. Thank you for putting out such amazing and insightful content! :)

thank you for making this video.
Chekhov is one of my favourites.
I've always loved the saying that Chekhov's writing is like lace - it's the missing pieces that give it it's beauty.

Thank you, you do an amazing job of analyzing complex people, stories, human topics and explaining or distilling them into snack-size ways of understanding them. I love your channel. Bless you and please keep the coming.

We need more authors like Chekhov for today's life. We have the billionaires who think they have the answers for governing the world just because they have a talent for making and manipulating money, and then there are others who consider themselves victims, people unable to escape from their cases.
