Five Plays (The Cherry Orchard)

This collection features the five masterpieces of Anton Chekhov, the pioneering dramatist who redefined modern theatre: Ivanov, The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters, and his final, masterful tragi-comedy, The Cherry Orchard. Each play captures the subtle, deeply human struggles of Russian life at the turn of the 20th century, exploring the decay of the aristocracy, the rise of the middle class, and the universal yearning for a meaningful existence. This volume showcases Chekhov's genius for blending humor and pathos, revealing profound truths through ordinary, often self-absorbed, conversations.
