Anton Chekhov
Anton Chekhov was born in 1860 in Southern Russia and moved to Moscow to study medicine. Whilst at university he sold short stories and sketches to magazines to raise money to support his family. His success and acclaim grew as both a writer of fiction and of plays whilst he continued to practice medicine. Ill health forced him to move from his country estate near Moscow to Yalta where he wrote some of his most famous work, and it was there that he married actress Olga Knipper. He died from tuberculosis in 1904.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I’d have continued listening had it not been for the narrator’s very unusual style. I prefer to have someone read a book in a more natural way. This seemed very forced and mechanical, with no softness or change in style.
