Since that time it has become one of the most critically admired and performed plays in the Western world, a high comedy whose principal theme, the passing of the old semifeudal order, is symbolized in the sale of the cherry orchard owned by Madame Ranevsky.The play also functions as a magnificent showcase for Chekhovs acute observations of his characters foibles and for quizzical ruminations on the approaching dissolution of the world of the Russian aristocracy and life as it was lived on their great country estates. While the subject and the characters of the work are, in a sense, timeless, the dramatic technique of the play was a Chekhovian innovation. In this and other plays he developed the concept of indirect action, in which the dramatic action takes place off stage and the significance of the play revolves around the reactions of the characters to those unseen events.Reprinted from a standard edition, this inexpensive well-made volume invites any lover of theater or great literature to enter the world of Madame Ranevsky, Anya, Gayef, Lopakhin, Firs, and the other memorable characters whose hopes, fears, loves, and general humanity are so brilliantly depicted in this landmark of world drama. Lubow and her daughter Anya return from their long absence in Paris to her landed gentry ancestral estate. She is penniless after squandering all the money she had, and then a lot she didnt, in addition to having been virtually robbed by her second husband. She gets there just in time for the estate, including the vast, old cherry orchard, about to be auctioned for the ever increasing dept. The impoverished nobility is still served and despised by the children of the slaves that the family owned. Lopakhin, a dubious family friend and an unenthusiastic would-be suitor to Lubows adopted daughter Varya and whose father was once a peasant serf on the estate, is now a rich land developer. He tries to convince Lubow and her brother Leo to sell the orchard for re-division into villa-in-the-country plots in order to get her out of the ever increasing debt. But Lubow is paralyzed. For her the cherry orchard is her tie to her previous life, to her childhood, without which she has no existence. At the end the orchard is bought by Lopathin at the auction and the family leaves and is dispersed while the sounds of axes felling the cherries resonate in the background.As many, if not all of Chekhovs writings, the play is a painful satire on the intellectual vacuum and the existential stupidity of Russian penniless nobility, pathetic intellectuals, and fawning useless servants. The emerging moneyed class is not much better, looking on possession as the only proof of worth. There are more characters in this play and they are all pathetic, ridiculous, avaricious, pompous. Whether Chekhov thought it was a comedy or not, it projects the feeling of despair.In many ways, selling the orchard is like abandoning Tara. But Lopakhin is no Rett Butler. He is successful but has no flair, not even roguish appeal. The play is beautifully written and the characters painted with a fine and sensitive brush. It even does have modern relevance, where the previously respected old money and academic intellect give way to a new generation of fast Wall Street operators, transitory sports, rock, and reality celebrities - a new world of virtual values. But to fully appreciate Chekhovs masterpiece, one has to understand the Russian melancholic soul, which permeates the atmosphere of the play. Dated but great!

  • Week I. Chekhov on His Play
    Unfortunately, Chekhov’s innovations were well received by neither directors nor theatergoers. Nor did they receive proper treatment from critics. Chekhov always insisted that he created cheerful, funny short stories and dramas, while critics labeled him a creator of dismal works: “Chekhov’s play makes a hard, if not to say, oppressive impression on the audience” (Sochineniia 13: 449; trans. John Holman); “Three Sisters appears to be a heavy stone on one’s soul” (13: 449; trans. John Holman); “I do not know another work that could ‘infect’ one with such a heavy, obsessive feeling” (13: 449; trans. John Holman). That Chekhov intended his work to be seen as a farce has not yet received a comprehensive evaluation. His first comedy, The Seagull, failed. And no wonder! Spectators who anticipated vaudevillian scenes became extremely angry with the dramatist for misleading them with the subtitle and for representing, instead, a depressing story that ends with the suicide of a main protagonist. The same fate had befallen The Cherry Orchard, a play that was planned to be a farce (as reflected in Chekhov’s letters to his wife, Olga Knipper). In 1901, he wrote to her: “The next play that I am going to write will definitely be funny, at least by its concept” (Sochineniia 13: 478). Critics accused Chekhov of lacking skill; they naturally did not see anything funny about the distressing plays that Chekhov called comedies. But what happened to Three Sisters was even worse. A struggle for the CNT: conservators and innovators. Just as any other innovator, Chekhov suffered for his pioneering changes of the comedic genre, which he unfortunately never discussed in a more logistical way.

  • THE CHERRY ORCHARD by Anton Chekhov
    THE CHERRY ORCHARD by Anton Chekhov THE AUTHOR Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) was born into a poor family - his father was a shopkeeper and his grandfather had been a serf - a year before the emancipation of the serfs in 1861. He thus grew up in a country experiencing great changes, including the revolutionary movements that would eventually lead to the overthrow of the Romanov dynasty. At the age of nineteen, Chekhov traveled to Moscow to study medicine, and while he was there, supported himself by writing comic pieces for local magazines. Soon, his writing became so popular that he gave up any thought of a career in medicine. Most of his short stories - the works for which he is most famous - were written while he was in his twenties. As he grew older, however, he turned from comedy to more serious themes. Though his early plays had been dismal failures, he returned to writing for the theater in 1896, and in his final eight years wrote the four plays that established his reputation on the stage - The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, The Three Sisters, and The Cherry Orchard. The last of these was written as he was suffering the final depredations of tuberculosis, from which he died only months after it first reached the stage. Chekhov’s plays were criticized in his own day for their lack of plot. His focus on characterization and atmosphere was little appreciated by his contemporaries, and he feared that his plays could never be produced outside Russia because they partook so strongly of the Russian spirit.

    Brainy Quote ~ Anton Chekhov 002 “Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.” ~ Anton Chekhov 002 ~ Ok "Pengetahuan tidak ada nilainya kecuali Anda mempraktikkannya." ~ Anton Chekhov 002 ~ Ok Berapa lama Anda menempuh Pendidikan? Setidaknya, bila Anda telah lulus SLTA, maka Anda sudah belajar di sekolah formal selama 12 tahun. Bila ditambah dengan usia Anda, jumlah tahun Anda belajar di sepanjang hidup Anda, sudah lebih dari 20 tahun. Apa yang Anda lakukan dengan pengetahuan yang telah Anda miliki? Apakah pengetahuan yang sudah Anda peroleh hanya sekadar informasi yang dikumpulkan? Bila tidak dipraktikan dalam kehidupan nyata, apa manfaatnya pengetahuan tersebut? Seperti quote yang pernah disampaikan oleh Anton Chekhov, seorang penulis berkebangsaan Rusia, hidup dalam rentang tahun 1860-1904 (hanya berusia 44 tahun), ‘Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.’ Secara bebas diterjemahkan, ‘Pengetahuan tidak ada nilainya kecuali Anda mempraktikkannya.’ Pengetahuan baru bernilai dan bermakna, ketika dimanfaatkan dan dipraktikkan dalam kehidupan nyata. Tanpa dilakukan, pengetahuan hanyalah seperti barang-barang yang disimpan digudang, tanpa manfaat. Pengetahuan yang sedikit, namun dilakukan, jauh lebih bermanfaat daripada pengetahuan yang banyak tetapi tidak pernah dipraktikkan. Ada orang yang mengumpulkan banyak ijazah, namun waktu mempraktikannya sangat terbatas atau relatif sedikit. Lalu, kapan investasi waktu dan biaya yang telah dikeluarkan dapat kembali? Bukankah jauh lebih baik, memiliki satu sertifikat saja namun dipraktikkan secara berkesinambungan, sehingga menghasilkan lebih banyak daripada pengorbanan yang telah dilakukan sebelumnya? Praktikkanlah semua pengetahuan Anda. Hanya dengan demikian, ia bernilai guna dan memberi makna.

But not flashy, philosophical ennui. Open Preview See a Problem? His works have a certain freshness that transcends the period. That said I find the theme of provincial Russian boredom and backwardness a bit tedious especially in a big chunk. But it's fun to see what the translator has attempted. This volume simply enlarges that desire. This pretty much completes my inquiry into Chekhov; I will, of course, go back to reread his plays and stories and give The Three Sisters a second chance. But from there it goes in all kinds of unusual directions. His plays are so delicate, that you just know you're losing something due to the translations. And that, in my opinion, is the problem with Senelick. Chekhov wasn't a solidly middle-class Edwardian Englishman reflecting on a world I don't think that this translation is the one that I was familiar with and can't recommend any one translation in particular. With a heavy head and a sluggish mind, weary, used up, discouraged, without faith or love or an object in life, I wander like a shadow among other men, not knowing why I am alive or what it is that I want.
