| Publisher info: Paul Schmidt's new translations of The Cherry Orchard, Three Sisters, The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, and other plays bring Chekhov up to date. Schmidt restores the vitality and humor that are lost in most academic translations and makes the plays accessible to a modern American sensibility. He also retains their social context, unlike translations by those who have no experience of Russian language or culture. |
