Five Comic One-Act Plays: Dover Thrift Editions

Autor Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
en Limba Engleză Paperback – iul 1999 – vârsta de la 14 ani

One of the foremost dramatists of the 19th century, Russian author Anton Chekhov (1860 1904) created a body of work noted for its realistic dialogue and keen insights into human relationships. This collection of five one-act plays in the celebrated Constance Garnett translations shows Chekhov at his witty best.
"The Anniversary" takes a lively look behind the frenetic scenes at a bank: a man overburdened with errands from friends and family gives a nearly maddened but ludicrous account of his chores and obligations in "An Unwilling Martyr"; and "The Wedding" depicts scenes from a wedding reception in which the mother of the bride assumes affected airs and deals with quarrelsome guests. In "The Bear, " a virtuous, spirited widow is pressed to repay a debt and ends up receiving an offer of marriage. "The Proposal" depicts the trauma of a would-be suitor who winds up in a wrangle over property.
Theater lovers, students of drama and literature, and other readers, as well as amateur and professional groups performing these popular works, will welcome this convenient, inexpensive collection of comic gems by one of the masters of modern drama.
