Summary

In the "Greatest Works of Anton Chekhov," readers are invited to explore the rich tapestry of human experience through the masterful lens of one of literature's most celebrated short story writers and playwrights. Chekhov's distinctive literary style, characterized by its psychological depth, keen observation, and subtle irony, encapsulates the nuances of life, particularly within the mundane contexts of Russian society at the turn of the 20th century. This anthology presents a curated selection of his most influential works, shedding light on his ability to capture complex emotions and existential dilemmas with an economy of language that remains unparalleled. The collection serves as a microcosm of Chekhov's thematic preoccupations—human suffering, social dislocation, and the intricate interplay of fate and choice. Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) was not only a prolific writer but also a practicing physician, which profoundly influenced his compassionate portrayal of human frailty. Chekhov's experiences in the remote provinces of Russia, coupled with his deep understanding of human psychology, informed his writing and enabled him to convey universal truths about the human condition. His formative years in a society grappling with change imbued his works with a reflective depth that resonates across cultures and epochs. This anthology is highly recommended for both newcomers and seasoned readers of literature, as it showcases Chekhov's unparalleled ability to evoke empathy and challenge perceptions through deceptively simple narratives. Engage with Chekhov's world—where every character carries the weight of their circumstances, inviting reflection on the intricacies of our own lives.

Passion Plays - How Religion...

Randall Balmer

Randall Balmer was a late convert to sports talk radio, but he quickly became addicted, just like millions of other devoted American sports fans. As a historian of religion, the more he listened, Balmer couldn’t help but wonder how the fervor he heard related to religious practice. Houses of worship once railed against Sabbath-busting sports events, but today most willingly accommodate Super Bowl Sunday. On the other hand, basketball’s inventor, James Naismith, was an ardent follower of Muscular Christianity and believed the game would help develop religious character. But today those religious roots are largely forgotten. 
 
Here one of our most insightful writers on American religion trains his focus on that other great passion—team sports—to reveal their surprising connections. From baseball to basketball and football to ice hockey, Balmer explores the origins and histories of big-time sports from the late nineteenth century to the present, with entertaining anecdotes and fresh insights into their ties to religious life. Referring to Notre Dame football, the Catholic Sun called its fandom “a kind of sacramental.” Legions of sports fans reading Passion Plays will recognize exactly what that means.
