저자(글) Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860-1904) was a Russian short story writer and playwright, regarded as a master of realist literature. He explored the everyday lives of ordinary people with psychological depth, leaving a strong impression through his unique sensitivity and concise style. His notable works include short stories such as “The Darling” and “Misery,” and plays like “The Seagull,” “Three Sisters,” and “The Cherry Orchard.” As a practicing physician, he infused his writing with compassion and an understanding of human suffering. Chekhov was exceptional at portraying the irony of life and the complexities of human nature. He profoundly influenced modern drama by focusing on subtle conflicts and emotions rather than dramatic events. His works continue to be loved and performed worldwide, cementing his place as a pivotal figure in both Russian and global literature.
