Ma vie : Récit d'un provincial

Front blanc ; suivi de Kachtanka ; et de Tristesse

A successful actress visits her brother’s isolated estate far from the city, throwing the frustrated residents unfulfilled ambitions into sharp relief. As her son attempts to impress with a self-penned play, putting much more than his pride at stake, others dream of fame, love and the ability to change their past.Chekhov’s darkly comic masterpiece is reignited for the 21st century by one of the most exciting new voices in British Theatre, Anya Reiss, Winner of the Most Promising Playwright at both the Evening Standard and Critics’ Circle awards.

La Mouette

Après deux ans d'absence, un comte alcoolique et déchu revient au village où il retrouve son ami, un juge d'instruction cynique et débauché. Tous deux s'éprennent d'une jeune fille en rouge rencontrée dans la forêt. Récit d'une perdition qui préfigure celle de la Russie, réflexion sur l'écriture et sur le mal, cet unique roman policier de Tchekhov, publié en feuilleton entre 1884 et 1885, était jusqu'à présent tout à fait introuvable en France.

Drame de chasse

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860-1904) was a Russian short story writer and a playwright. His playwriting career produced four classics, while his best short stories are held in high esteem by writers and critics. Chekhov practiced as a doctor throughout most of his literary career: "Medicine is my lawful wife, " he once said, "and literature is my mistress." Chekhov renounced the theatre after the disastrous reception of The Seagull in 1896; but the play was revived to acclaim by Constantin Stanislavski's Moscow Art Theatre, which subsequently also produced Uncle Vanya and premiered Chekhov's last two plays, Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard. These four works present a special challenge to the acting ensemble as well as to audiences, because in place of conventional action Chekhov offers a "theatre of mood" and a "submerged life in the text." His originality consists in an early use of the stream-of-consciousness technique combined with a disavowal of the moral finality of traditional story structure.

La steppe

Tragi-comiques, ces quatre œuvres brèves sont chacune des pièces d’orfèvrerie tchékhovienne, où se débattent des individus aux solitudes vertigineuses.«Je n’ai personne, Nikitouchka, ni parents, ni femme, ni gosses… Seul, comme le vent dans la plaine…»

La cerisaie; comédie en 4 actes [par] A.P. Tchekhov. 1e version française par C. Mostkova et A. Lamblot. Précédée d'un poème de Wega et d'une étude du Alexandre Eck

Le professeur de lettres est un récit léger qui devient peu à peu ironique et amer. Un jeune professeur voit tous ses rêves réalisés : une idylle qui se conclut par un riche mariage apparemment heureux. Pourtant il découvre au fil du temps que son existence reste hantée par une insatisfaction latente et une soif d'absolu dérisoire. On découvre dans cette nouvelle la lucidité de Tchekhov, mais aussi sa tendresse pour les êtres dans une vision du monde et des sentiments humains profondément sensible et désenchantée.

Le professeur de lettres

Anton Chekhov was one of the world's most accomplished short-story writers and this collection displays the breadth and variety of his genius. Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library, a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold-foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. In the Ravine & Other Stories are translated by Constance Garnett and selected and introduced by novelist Paul Bailey. Chekhov had an incomparable ability to write about the seemingly every day with insight, humour and compassion. His characters are brilliantly drawn, from the church warden who's convinced his wife's a witch because strangers arrive on the doorstep whenever there's a storm, to the wronged wife who confronts her husband's chorus-girl lover, to the melancholy school teacher who imagines how her life might have been.
