安东·巴甫洛维奇·契诃夫(1860—1904),是俄国杰出的批判现实主义作家,同法国的莫泊桑齐名,并称为世界短篇小说的双璧。他创作了七百多篇脍炙人口的短篇小说,从日常生活现象里揭露了当时社会的黑暗,对“小人物”的不幸命运寄于深切同情,对沙皇专制制度进行猛烈抨击。他的作品以含蓄、朴素、凝炼的艺术风格丰富了世界文学的宝库,被高尔基称为“散文中的普希金”。 Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860-1904), a prominent Russian writer of critical realism, shares the same name with Maupassant France and is described as a double wall of world short stories. He created more than 700 popular novels, exposing the darkness of the society from everyday life, sending deep sympathy to the unlucky fate of “little things,” and attacking the tsarist autocracy. His works have enriched the treasure house of world literature with implicit, simple and condensed artistic styles, and are called “Pushkin in prose” by Gorky.
