Anton Chekhov was a Russian playwright and short-story writer who is considered to be one of the greatest writers of all time. His career as a playwright produced four classics, and his best short stories are held in high esteem by writers and critics. Along with Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg, Chekhov is often referred to as one of the three seminal figures in the birth of early modernism in the theatre. Chekhov was a physician by profession. "Medicine is my lawful wife", he once said, "and literature is my mistress." Chekhov renounced the theatre after the reception of The Seagull in 1896, but the play was revived to acclaim in 1898 by Konstantin Stanislavski's Moscow Art Theatre, which subsequently also produced Chekhov's Uncle Vanya and premiered his last two plays, Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard. These four works present a 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". The plays that Chekhov wrote were not complex, but easy to follow, and created a somewhat haunting atmosphere for the audience. Chekhov at first wrote stories to earn money, but as his artistic ambition grew, he made formal innovations that influenced the evolution of the modern short story. He made no apologies for the difficulties this posed to readers, insisting that the role of an artist was to ask questions, not to answer them. Here is perhaps his finest collection. A true audiobook treasure!Mostra libro

Whoz Your Daddy: The Misadventures of Mike and Spike is the story of two head-strong sperm cells who are each determined to fertilize an available ovary that they arrive at simultaneously. A debate ensues as to which one of them deserves to father the egg, each basing the opportunity on much of the very same archaic dogma that many humans use to this very day, regarding racial superiority, class, wealth and religion. Mike and Spike soon come to learn that, in the end, as far as all those things are concerned, just being a good and decent human being gives a person far more value.Mostra libro
