«El pabellón nº 6» is the short story by Anton Chekhov, in paperback, with 149 pages, in Spanish.
In a hospital in nineteenth-century Russia, Doctor Ragin strikes up a conversation with a patient in Ward Six. Chekhov thus explores the boundary between sanity and madness, the intellectual's passivity, and social indifference to suffering, in an ironic narrative that invites a re-examination of the certainties of his era.
This edition belongs to the Biblioteca Fundamental de Nuestro Tiempo collection, number 35. It includes a preface by Maxim Gorky and a translation by Ricardo San Vicente.
Recommended for readers of Russian literature and nineteenth-century fiction interested in the psychology of characters.
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was a Russian playwright and short story writer. Widely considered one of the greatest writers of all time, his career as a playwright produced four classics, and his best short stories are held in high esteem by writers and critics. Along with Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg, Chekhov is often referred to as one of the three seminal figures in the birth of early modernism in the theatre. Chekhov was a physician by profession. "Medicine is my lawful wife," he once said, "and literature is my mistress."
