Here in one compact and modestly priced edition are the celebrated Russian playwright`s most popular works. In addition to five full-length plays—The Sea Gull, Uncle Vanya, The Three Sisters, The Cherry Orchard, and Ivanov—this anthology features five of Anton Chekhov`s one-act comedies: The Anniversary, An Unwilling Martyr, The Wedding, The Bear, and The Proposal.

Chekhov considered his famous tragedies a form of comic satire—with the bleakness of life in czarist Russia at the...

This sensational, hard-hitting and passionate tale of marital cruelty sees a mysterious new tenant at Wildfell Hall, Helen Graham, unmasked not as a `wicked woman` as the local gossips would have it, but as the estranged wife of a brutal alcoholic bully, desperate to protect her son.
