The Seagull is Anton Chekhov's sharply-observed tragicomedy about art, love, and families. A group gathers at a country estate on a summer evening for the performance of a new play.

Produktbeschreibung
The Seagull is Anton Chekhov's sharply-observed tragicomedy about art, love, and families. A group gathers at a country estate on a summer evening for the performance of a new play. Most of them yearn for what they do not have: Irina, the famous actress, chases her fading youth; her son, the playwright Konstantin, wants to escape his mother's orbit; her lover, the successful but mediocre writer Trigorin, bemoans the genius that eludes him; and Nina, the naïve girlfriend of Konstantin, dreams of a glamorous life on the stage. As the play unfolds, the characters pursue their own agendas, frustrating the others' ambitions but rarely achieving their own, in a bleakly humorous look at human folly. Famous for its clever dialogue and insightful characterization, The Seagull is one of Chekhov's best-known plays, and is essential reading for anyone interested in theater or Russian literature.
Autorenporträt
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860 - 1904) was a Russian playwright and short story writer, who is considered to be among the greatest writers of short fiction in history. His career as a playwright produced four classics and his best short stories are held in high esteem by writers and critics. Along with Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg, Chekhov is often referred to as one of the three seminal figures in the birth of early modernism in the theater. Chekhov practiced as a medical doctor throughout most of his literary career: "Medicine is my lawful wife", he once said, "and literature is my mistress."
