Ivanov
by Anton Chekhov
Published for the first time: 1/1/1887
88 pages, Paperback
Genres: Plays, Theatre, Russia, Russian Literature, Drama, Fiction, Classics
The first of Chekhov's full-length dramas, Ivanov treads a fine line between broad comedy and tragic melodrama. Ivanov, a young estate owner, is too intelligent and too bored to endure his provincial life. He is a "superfluous man," attracted to a beautiful young woman who threatens his moral foundations and leads him ultimately to tragedy. This new translation beautifully captures Chekhov's dialogue for modern audiences.
