About this audiobook
This audio book features a trilogy of interlinked stories: "About Truth", "About Freedom", "About Love". Read in English, unabridged, and accompanied by orchestral music based on original compositions of Dvorak. In "About Love", Anton Chekhov explores the theme of love through the lens of unrequited love. The story centres around the character of Olga, who is in love with a man who does not return her affections. Chekhov uses Olga's unrequited love to examine the nature of love itself, and to question whether true love is possible if it is not reciprocated.
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.
