About this audiobook
Ivan Matveyitch by Anton Chekhov is an archetypal example of the Russian realist tradition, and serves as an exploration of human identity in a rapidly changing, modernizing nation. Through his depiction of the titular protagonist, a common man on the cusp of middle-agedness, Chekhov paints a vivid portrait of a character struggling to reconcile his sense of self with shifting cultural and social expectations. Read in English, unabridged.
Author
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.
