My favouritewriter is Anton Pavlovich Chekhov. In my opinion, he is thegreatest Russian dramatist and short-story writer. Chekhov was born in 1860 in Taganrog. In 1879 he wentto Moscow, where he studied medicine.While in a college, Chekhov wrote humorous sketchesfor comic papers to support his family.In 1887 Ivanov, his first play, established Chekhov asa dramatist. From then on, he concentrated on writing plays, as well as shortstories.Chekhov was seriously ill. He had tuberculosis andknew what it meant. By 1892 his health was so bad that he was afraid to spendanother winter in Moscow. He bought a small estate near a village Melikhovo, 50miles from Moscow.He spent 5 years there, and those were happy years inspite of the illness. He wrote some of his best stories there, including TheSeagull and Uncle Vanya.The Seagull was successfully performed as the firstproduction of the Moscow Art Theatre in 1898. From then on, Chekhov was closelyconnected with this theatre and with its founder, K.S.Stanislavsky. In 1901 hemarried an Art Theatre actress, Olga Knipper, who acted in his play The ThreeSisters the same year.Chekhov`s health went from bad to worse and he had tospend the remaining years in the Crimea. The Cherry Orchard, his last play, wasproduced in 1904. Soon after the first night Chekhov died. He was 44.Chekhov had an influence on the 20-th century drama.Besides, several generations of writers both in Russia and abroad studied andimitated Chekhov to perfect their own literary style.
