Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Philip Callows new biography of Russias greatest dramatist and storyteller is a major achievement. By examining Chekhovs life within the context of the evolution of his art, Mr. Callow makes the reader acutely aware of the hidden ground from which Chekhovs 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 Becketts; 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 his art is profoundly convincing and humane, but in his own life he holds back coldly and perhaps fearfully from real commitment. He constantly surprises us: a modest genius who finds the whole nature of fame unseemly; a man furious at injustice who is apolitical; a humorist in despair before the mediocrity, stupidity, and cruelty of the world; a generous spirit unable to stop working to improve the lot of others, incapable of turning anyone away, who remains stubbornly apart and hidden. Readers of Mr. Callows Chekhov will find it a supremely satisfying biography, beautifully told. The life of Russias greatest dramatist and storyteller examined within the context of the evolution of his art. A fine biography.a very well-written, intelligent account of Chekhovs remarkable literary career and of his private actions.Atlantic Monthly. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781566631877
