    Hush!

    Written by Anton Chekhov

    Narrated by Anastasia Bertollo

    ()

    About this audiobook

    Anton Chekhov (1860 – 1904) deprecated turning a person into slave first, but later began to make higher demands to his characters and to blame not only their environment, but also themselves for losing their dignity. Chekhov used actively bright details and professional slang to create necessary atmosphere.

    In "Hush!" we meet a journalist who comes home late in the evening and needs to do some work, therefore he demands not to be disturbed. His family regards the time when he works sacred and tries to do everything to make it comfortable for him.

    As his nature and temper are revealed to us, we get to know what he thinks of himself and what he is like at work, his dreams and who or what is to blame that he is unhappy.

    Anton Chekhov

    Anton Chekhov was born in Taganrog, in southern Russia, and in his youth paid for his own education and supported his entire family by writing short, satirical sketches of Russian life. Though he eventually became a physician and once considered medicine his principal career, he continued to gain popularity and praise as a writer for various Russian newspapers, eventually authoring more literary work and ultimately his most well-known plays, including Ivanov, The Seagull, and Uncle Vanya. He died of tuberculosis in 1904, and is regarded as one of the best short story writers in history, influencing such authors as Ernest Hemingway, Vladimir Nabokov, and Raymond Carver.
