Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (Playwright) (Jan 29, 1860 - Jul 15, 1904) was a Russian physician and supreme short story writer and playwright. He was the third of six children. Chekhov, like Dickens, was no stranger to financial hardship and in 1875 his father took the family and fled to Moscow to escape creditors. Chekhov stayed behind for three more years to finish school. He paid for his tuition by selling goldfinches, selling short sketches to the news- paper, sending any money he could spare money to his family in Moscow. In 1879 Chekhov was admitted to medical school and joined his family in Moscow. He assumed financial responsibility for the family and while attending classes at Moscow State University he wrote and sold a large number of humorous stories and vignettes of contemporary Russian life. He published more than 400 short stories, sketches and vignettes by the age of twenty-six. Some consider Chekhov to be the founder of the modern short story and his influence is observed in a diverse group of writers including Flannery O’Connor, Tennessee Williams, Somerset Maugham, Raymond Carver and John Cheever. Most of the Englishspeaking world knows him as a playwright, particularly for The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard. Witty to the end, Chekhov’s last words were, “I haven’t had
