My Life: Story of a Provincial Man is an apparently inconsequential narrative by Anton Chekhov that reveals unsuspected facets of human existence. Through the story of a provincial man, Chekhov questions the rigid theses on the ethical and moral mission of literature, inviting reflection on life and society. This edition of Alianza Editorial includes a translation and prologue by Ricardo San Vicente, offering a new perspective on this classic work of Russian literature.
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."
