About this book
Chekhov's one-act play Swan Song, in Marian Fell's English translation, shows an aged comic actor left alone in an empty theatre after his benefit night, where the prompter finds him. Fell's introduction sketches Chekhov's life from his birth in Taganrog in 1860 to his medical studies in Moscow and his first stories in 1880, and sets him against the gloomy Russia of the 1880s. A chronological list of his principal works follows.
