520    Born in the port city of Taganrog in southern Russia, 
       Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) survived a difficult childhood 
       with an abusive father and put himself through school 
       (while supporting his family), qualifying as a physician 
       in 1884. At the same time he began practicing medicine, he
       also became celebrated for his short fiction, which 
       redefined the genre with its formal innovations and 
       psychological depth. His first serious play, The Seagull, 
       was booed at its premiere in 1896, but-along with his 
       other plays Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters, and The Cherry 
       Orchard-it came to be seen as a masterpiece, bringing a 
       new realism to the theater and to acting, which continues 
       to reverberate today. Afflicted with ill health for much 
       of his life, Chekhov died of tuberculosis at the age of 44,
       prematurely depriving the world of a great writer and a 
       great humanist. In Simply Chekhov, Professor Carol 
       Apollonio provides a concise and accessible introduction 
       to Chekhov, both within his time and place (Russia on the 
       eve of revolution) and as a master of world literature. 
       Readers will meet the major figures of Chekhov's era-as 
       well as his colorful family, lovers, colleagues, and 
       friends-and gain an appreciation for the ways in which 
       this real-life cast of characters are reflected in 
       Chekhov's stories and plays. Drawing on insights from her 
       more than three decades of Chekhov scholarship, Apollonio 
       not only presents strikingly original insights into 
       Chekhov's major works, but explores the concerns-from the 
       place of humans in the natural world to the threat of 
       homelessness-that made him such a compelling figure and 
       that remain relevant to the crises we face today.
