Summary

Eight of Chekhov's plays, from the one-act farces The Proposal, The Wedding, The Bear and The Anniversary to the full-length The Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard. The sisters long for Moscow while their lives slip by in a provincial town, and a family loses its orchard to a merchant's axe. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.

Written by Claude Sonnet 5.5, an AI assistant, from the text of the book.
