Description: Jonathan Cape, London, 1936. Reprint, Hardcover (Original Cloth). Very Good Condition/Fair. Travellers' Library edition; translated with introduction & notes by George Calderon. Tchekoff had that fine comedic spirit which relishes the incon¬gruity between the actual disorder of the world and the underlying order. Seeking as he did to throw our eyes outward from the individual destiny, to discover its relation to surround¬ing Life, he habitually mingled tragedy (which is Life seen close at hand) with comedy (which is Life seen from a distance). His plays are tragedies with the texture of comedies. Tchekoff wrote five important plays – Ivanof; Uncle Vanya; The Seagull; The Three Sisters; and The Cherry Orchard. The rest are one-act farces. The Seagull and The Cherry Orchard were chosen for this volume as representing him at two extremes. The Seagull is easy, entrainant, not much unlike a Western play; The Cherry Orchard is difficult, rebarbatif and very Russian. 40 page list of series titles to rear.
