About this audiobook
Natalya Andreyevna Bronin (also known as Nikitin), a successful opera singer, is relaxing in her bedroom when her husband, Denis Petrovitch Nikitin, arrives. He has just been visiting a wealthy man named Zagvozdkin and is upset because Zagvozdkin wouldn't lend him money. Denis expresses his views on capital and business to his wife, who is tired and just wants to go back to sleep. The story highlights the dynamic between the couple, with Denis being loud and boisterous while Natalya is reserved and tired. It also touches on the theme of capital and business, with Denis being critical of wealthy people who don't invest their money. Read in English, unabridged.
Author
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.
