Das Drama - Lustige Erzählungen

Geschrieben von Anton Chekhov

Erzählt von Verena von Kerssenbrock

Anton Tschechow war ein sehr fruchtbarer Autor, der neben zahlreichen Theaterstücken auch viele kurze und längere Erzählungen veröffentlichte. Die Zusammenstellung auf dieser CD berücksichtigt humorvolle Geschichten hauptsächlich aus seiner Frühzeit: „Die Simulanten“, „Der Kater“, „Ja, das Publikum“, „Eine problematische Natur“, „Das Kunstwerk“, „Ein Chamäleon“, „Das Drama“. Tschechow war Arzt, und auch als Schriftsteller stellt er Diagnosen, bleibt objektiv, zeigt Situationen auf, bewertet sie aber nicht. So stellt er die Distanz her, durch welche die Absurdität mancher Situationen erst richtig zur Geltung kommt.
Anton Chekhov was a very prolific author, who wrote numerous plays, and quite a few stories. This compilation includes humorous stories from his earlier creative period: “Die Simulanten” (Malingerers), “Ja, das Publikum” (Oh! The Public), “Eine problematische Natur” (An Enigmatic Nature), “Das Kunstwerk” (A Work of Art), “Ein Chamäleon” (A Chameleon). Chekhov was not only an author but also a physician which manifests in the diagnostic, objective style of his writing, adding further to the humor of these short stories.

Anton Chekhov

Anton Chekhov was born in Taganrog, in southern Russia, and in his youth paid for his own education and supported his entire family by writing short, satirical sketches of Russian life. Though he eventually became a physician and once considered medicine his principal career, he continued to gain popularity and praise as a writer for various Russian newspapers, eventually authoring more literary work and ultimately his most well-known plays, including Ivanov, The Seagull, and Uncle Vanya. He died of tuberculosis in 1904, and is regarded as one of the best short story writers in history, influencing such authors as Ernest Hemingway, Vladimir Nabokov, and Raymond Carver.
