 ANTON CHEKHOV AKA "ANTOSHA CHEKHONTE"
Physician, Fiction Writer, Playwright The Kreutzer Sonata by Leo Tolstoi France! France! France! Champagne and showgirls Ah, Caviar! I keep on eating it, but can never get my fill. Like olives. It's a lucky thing it's not salty. I am writing a play which I probably will not finish until the end of November. I am writing it with considerable pleasure, though I sin frightfully against the conventions of the stage. It is a comedy with three female parts, six male, four acts, a landscape (view of the lake), lots of talk on literature, little action and tons of love. Philowisdomizing There ought to be a man with a hammer behind the door of every happy man. |
