In a style reminiscent of Anton Chekhov himself--realistic; intimate; and dynamic--Mikhail Chekhov shares unparalleled memories and insights; transporting readers into the world of the Chekhov family. He visits the places where his brother lived and worked and introduces the people he knew and loved; Leo Tolstoy and Piotr Tchaikovsky among them. As a unique eyewitness to the beloved writers formative years and his artistic maturity; Mikhail Chekhov shows here first-hand the events that inspired the plots for The Seagull; The Black Monk; and The Steppe; among other enduring works. Captivating; surprising; and a joy to read; this memoir reveals the remarkable life of one the most masterful storytellers of our time.
