Vida de Chéjov / Life of Chekhov

Una biograf?a que ilumina la figura de Ant?n Ch?jov en toda su verdad, humanidad y sensibilidad excepcional. La nostalgia de la inocencia, el retrato sin concesiones de una humanidad que sufre: numerosas son las afinidades que unen la obra de Ir?ne N?mirovsky con la de Ant?n Ch?jov. Nacida en 1903, un a?o antes de la muerte de este, la autora de Suite francesa qued? prendada por la trayectoria y el destino del c?lebre escritor ruso. Precisa, ?ntima y profundamente conmovedora, esta biograf?a, que es tambi?n una magn?fica panor?mica de la literatura rusa, revela la compleja personalidad de Ch?jov, con todos sus padecimientos, anhelos, frustraciones y esperanzas. Publicada en 1946, cuatro a?os despu?s de la tr?gica desaparici?n de Ir?ne N?mirovsky, Vida de Ch?jov evoca las extraordinarias coincidencias entre dos almas sorprendentemente afines. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A biography that casts a light on the character of Anton Chekhov, his truth, his humanity, and his exceptional sensibility. The nostalgia for innocence, the unapologetic portrait of a humanity in pain--there are so many similarities between Ir?ne N?mirovsky's work and Anton Chekhov's. Born in 1903, a year before Chekhov's death, the author of Suite Fran?aise was captivated by the career and fate of the famous Russian author. Explicit, intimate, and profoundly moving, this biography, also a magnificent overview of Russian literature, reveals the complex personality of Chekhov, with all his afflictions, yearning, frustration, and hope. Published in 1946, four years after Ir?ne N?mirovsky's tragic disappearance, Life of Chekhov evokes the extraordinary coincidences between two souls amazingly alike.
