Platonov: A play in four acts and five scenes

By Anton Chekhov

Book Overview

A complete unabridged translation of Chekhov's early play, discovered years after his death. PLATONOV (also known as FATHERLESSNESS and A PLAY WITHOUT A TITLE) is the name in English given to an early, untitled play in four acts written by Anton Chekhov in 1878. It was the first large-scale drama by Chekhov, written specifically for Maria Yermolova, rising star of Maly Theatre. Yermolova rejected the play and it was not published until 1923. This new version is a collaboration between Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonksy, prize-winning translators of Russian literature, and Tony Award-winner Richard Nelson.
