A Life in Letters

By Anton Chekhov

From the teenager in provincial Russia in 1875 to his premature death in Germany in 1904 Chekhov wrote over 4 500 letters to a range of correspondents including family and friends his publisher and fellow writers - not to mention actresses. These letters tell the story of Chekhov's life as a man and a writer and he emerges from them as a tough generous life-enhancing and enigmatic character.
