Summary

Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) was a renowned Russian playwright and short-story writer, widely considered one of the greatest literary figures in history. Chekhov's influence extends beyond literature into theatre; his techniques and style have inspired countless writers and playwrights. His works are celebrated for their realism, complexity, and the way they capture the essence of human existence, often with a blend of humor and tragedy. Chekhov's concise yet profound storytelling and his innovative approach to drama have left an indelible mark on world literature. 
Constance Garnett (1861-1946) was a British translator known for her extensive translations of Russian literature into English. Garnett's translations not only made Russian literature accessible but also influenced how English-speaking readers perceived Russian culture, contributing significantly to literary cross-cultural exchange.
