Golovacheva A. G. Chekhov and the Twentieth Century. Articles and Essays. Simferopol: N. Orianda Publishing, 2025. 256 p.: Book review
Abstract
The book under review explores various aspects of the life and work of A. P. Chekhov, his influence on Russian and international culture in the 20th century, his contemporaries (D. Grigorovich, I. Levitan, L. Shapovalov, O. Solovieva, I. Bunin), and his literary successors (V. Kaverin, K. Paustovsky, E. Schwartz, I. Shmelev, A. Grin, V. Nabokov). Based on an analysis of extensive factual and archival material, the author offers a number of insights into the writer’s final years in Crimea and raises unknown questions about the correspondence between Chekhov’s admirers and the writer’s sister, attributing and commenting on the letters.
