A remarkable stylist, subtle psychologist, and master of subtext, Anton Pavlovich Chekhov exerted a profound influence on the development of world literature. He was always interested in ordinary people in their everyday affairs and concerns; he described their lives, dreams, and hopes for the future without prophecy or moralizing, leaving his readers free to draw their own conclusions. His stories and plays written in the last quarter of the 19th century continue to generate interest worldwide, and prose writers and playwrights acknowledge that Chekhov opened up unprecedented possibilities for them in the art of words. "Reading Chekhov, I laugh, rejoice, and admire... That is the definition of talent" (L. N. Tolstoy). "I sincerely advise you to look into Chekhov's books more often... so that, lost in thought, you can experience these fairytale dreams as they were intended" (V. V. Nabokov). "You can revere Tolstoy's intellect. Admire Pushkin's elegance. "To appreciate Dostoevsky's moral quest. Gogol's humor. And so on. However, the only person I want to be like is Chekhov" (Sergei Dovlatov).
