«Oncle Vania» is the play by Anton Tchekhov, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (155 pages, in French).
On a Russian country estate, Vania, his niece Sonia and Doctor Astrov are trapped in a routine of tedium, unrequited loves and broken dreams. Tchekhov portrays with irony and compassion the impossibility of his characters escaping a life they perceive as empty.
The original Russian title is «Дядя Ваня» (1897) and this French edition belongs to the Le Théâtre de Poche collection.
For students of literature and theater, and for those who want to read Tchekhov in French.
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."
