About this audiobook
Polinka, written by Anton Chekhov, is an evocative social commentary that explores the complexity of human relationships within a patriarchal society. Through the lens of a rural Russian family, we are presented with an artful inquiry into the negotiation of power and gender roles within a homogeneous cultural context. The narrative centers on protagonist Polinka, who struggles to find her voice amidst oppressive social constraints. In this way, Chekhov challenges the audience to question their assumptions about traditional gender relations. 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.
