Drama on the Hunt

Author: Anton Chekhov

‎

This book includes Chekhov's notebook and scattered pages from his diaries. These notes and diaries, which fall within the inner aspect of the author's creative activity, are of great importance. Chekhov himself destroyed the drafts of his manuscripts and had no desire to talk about this work. He did not like to show anyone his artistic works before they were completely finished. These notes, diaries, and thoughts in his notebook and scattered pages allow the Arab reader to trace the history of Chekhov's stories, novels, and plays, even if incomplete, in the 1890s, a period when he reached the peak of artistic maturity. They also help to understand the peculiarities of his metaphorical thinking, his process of contemplation and the formation of his methods, his distinctive styles of working with words, the themes of his artistic works, their structure, and provide a key to exploring the psychological context in which the essence of his stories, novels, and plays arise.
