What readers are saying

Readers appreciate the exploration of Chekhov's early works and their development into his masterful plays. Many find the clarity of character intentions engaging, while the translations provided by David Hare are praised for highlighting Chekhov's brilliance. Some confusion arises from the portrayal of antisemitism in the plays, though it is viewed as a reflection of the time rather than a direct opinion of the author.
