Description
Chekhov was the son of a liberated Russian serf who mirrored in his writing the world of the rising bourgeoisie in pre-revolutionary Russia. The times were tumultuous and the political issues were overwhelming. In the setting of the aspiring middle class personal issues regarding happiness and status absorbed emotional energy while the bigger questions hovered in the background. A physician and a Moscow resident, Chekhov understood the agonies of middle class existence as well as the profound malaise of Russia. His plays are dramatic gems.
