Chekhov's works: a list of the most popular

Creative period of Anton Chekhov Covers more Two decades, for which was written about 900 works. These are short and more voluminous stories, novels, plays, essays on topical topics.

Early works of Chekhov

The list is opened by the first published "What is most often found in novels, novels, etc." and "Letter to an Academic Neighbor". Then followed a lot of short stories, scenes that are humorous or satirical in nature and ridicule the realities of life, the vices of people, including insouciance, servility, vigilance, etc. These are familiar to the modern reader, Unter Prishibeyev and Chameleon, Tolsty And thin "and" Horse name "," Joy "and" Peresolil "," Burbot "and" Surgery "," Intruder "and" Papa "," Razmaznya "and" Tosca "," Death of an official "and many others. In total more than 400. Shortness, expressiveness, a special role of the artistic detail, speaking the surnames - these are their main features. The stories of the 80s were published mostly in humorous magazines under pseudonyms.

Finish the early period of Chekhov's more extensive works. This list includes the story "Flowers are belated", "Boring Story", "Drama on the Hunt", "Steppe". The latter marked a turning point in the writer's worldview and a transition to a new stage.

Mature creativity

The 1990s were often referred to as the Melikhov period in the literary work of Anton Pavlovich. It was a time when he tried to get as close to the people as possible and to understand his difficult fate. The symbol of the era are many of Chekhov's works. Their list is also great: "House with a mezzanine", "Chamber No. 6", "Student", "Booty", "Lady with a Dog", "Dushechka", "Bride", "Guys", "In a ravine". The top of Chekhov's prose was The Little Trilogy (Man in a Case, Gooseberries, About Love) and Ionich. The heroes of the later stories and novels are, as a rule, intellectuals who have fenced themselves off from the surrounding reality and live in their comfortable world, or little-educated people brought from the people by indifference to the state of indifference.

Dramaturgy

The theater has always played a significant role in the life of the writer. Visiting him at the age of thirteen turned into a passion for Chekhov. And the first drama was written while studying at the gymnasium. Of course, the play "Bezotsovshchina" was not known, but to some extent determined the future of Chekhov the playwright.

A sad fate awaited and the work "On the High Road" in 1885 - the censorship did not let it go to press. Thus, if we consider Chekhov's dramatic works, the list should begin with the play "Ivanov". Next will be one-act "Bear", "Wedding", where the mastery of the writer in the creation of comic scenes comes to the fore. The "Seagull" (1996), "Uncle Vanya" (1896, a revised version of the work "Leshiy" - 1889, criticized by friends), "Three Sisters" (1900), "The Cherry Orchard" (1903) are considered to be the undoubted masterpiece of the dramaturgic talent of Anton Pavlov . These plays occupy an important place in Russian literature. A.P. Chekhov became one of the founders of the new drama, combining the classical traditions of Russian prose and Ostrovsky's later legacy. His heroes, modest and charming, sincere, and sometimes helpless, are troubled by the search for the meaning of life in rapidly changing historical conditions.

Works about Sakhalin

1990 was marked for the writer by the fact that he went to Sakhalin. The purpose of the trip was to fight hunger. However, what he saw left such a deep impression in the soul of Anton Pavlovich that the result was Chekhov's new works. Their list is not large: the book of essays "Sakhalin Island", stories "In exile", "Murder", sometimes here also refer to "Chamber No. 6". But in them, more sharply than before, there is a protest against the prevailing order in the country, which limited the normal life of its citizens.

Chekhov's works for children

The list here is not great, since Anton Pavlovich wrote mainly for adults. He believed that there was no need to invent something for a small audience. It is enough to choose from good literature what one can give to boys and girls. And even those works of Chekhov, whose characters were children ("Vanka", "Grisha", "I Want to Sleep") are clearly addressed to adult readers. So, if we revise everything that Chekhov wrote, the list for children will be limited to "Kashtanka", "White-throated" (the writer jokingly called these and similar stories bestial) and "Boys". Success certainly enjoys the story of the dog. But the last two stories, junior schoolchildren and teenagers often prefer "Joy", "Thick and thin," "Horse name," "Chameleon," "Nalima" ...

Of course, in one article it is not possible to cite the entire list of works by A.P. Chekhov. Yes, this is not the main thing. Much more important that a modern reader takes a volume with the name of the writer and to the full, the story behind the story, appreciated the whole charm of Chekhov's language, Chekhov's humor, and Chekhov's irony ...
