Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
(29th January
1860 – 15 July 1904), was a Russian physician,
dramaturge and author who is considered to be among
the greatest writers of short stories in history. His
career as a dramatist produced four classics and his
best short stories are held in high esteem by writers
and critics. 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." 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.
