Very depressing ( ) A collection of stories from the middle period of Chekhov's career focus on characters who face life's difficulties before experiencing moments of insight that lead to changes in their lives. Strong emotions prevail in these stories with episodes that appear to be influenced by Chekhov's person experiences as a doctor. I found the story of a student who undergoes a spiritual epiphany to be especially moving. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Impressionistic and bold, the nine stories in this collection frame the middle period of Chekhov's career. Exploring both complicated and intense emotions, Chekhov presents a world without simple answers or universal truths. "Ward No. 6" is a savage indictment of the medical profession. "The Black Monk," the story of a scholar who has strange hallucinations, explores ideas of genius and insanity. "A Woman's Kingdom" and "Three Years" show women discovering that money, marriage, and choices do not necessarily bring happiness. In "Murder" religious fervor leads to violence, while in "The Student" a young man recounts a tale from the gospels and undergoes a sudden spiritual epiphany. Also in this volume are "The Grasshopper," "Adriana," and "The Two Volodyas." Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
