Zum 100. Todestag des großen Dramatikers und Erzählers erscheint die erste große Biographie seit Jahren, die alle Aspekte von Cechovs Leben und Werk umfasst. Rosamund Bartlett beleuchtet die Stationen des großen Erneuerers des Theaters, von seiner Geburt in einer russischen Provinzstadt bis zu einer für ihn enorm prägenden Fahrt durch die sibirische Strafkolonie auf der Insel Sachalin. Wie vielleicht kein anderer Schriftsteller des 19. Jahrhunderts hat Cechov Generationen nach ihm beeinflusst - unter ihnen Größen wie Virginia Woolf, Ernest Hemingway oder Raymond Carver.
