Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) was a Russian master of the short story and playwright. He is considered one of the greatest writers of the late 19th century, and his works are still widely read and studied today. Chekhov is renowned for his insight into the human condition, and his works are rich with characters and situations that capture the essence of what it is to be human. His stories explore themes of love, loss, and the search for meaning in a seemingly uncaring world. He is also noted for his use of humor, irony, and his ability to create tension and drama within a short story. Chekhov's works revolutionized the short story, and his influence can be seen in the works of writers such as Ernest Hemingway and Fyodor Dostoevsky.
