书籍简介

契诃夫既是短篇小说大师，也是戏剧艺术大师，剧本创作是契诃夫文学创作的一个重要组成部分，他的创作对俄罗斯戏剧艺术进行了革新，对20世纪戏剧产生了很大的影响。本书所选的作品都是契诃夫的戏剧代表作，体现了作者戏剧创作的不同风格。

《樱桃园》是契诃夫创作的戏剧作品。四幕喜剧《樱桃园》剧本写于1902年至1903年。该故事讲述的是加耶夫、郎涅夫斯卡雅兄妹被迫出卖祖传的樱桃园的故事。加耶夫和郎涅夫斯卡雅兄妹出身于是俄罗斯贵族家庭，继承一个祖传的樱桃园。加耶夫是个好吃懒做、游手好闲、缺乏生活能力的“败家子”，由于不会经营，不久便欠下了大笔债务。郎涅夫斯卡雅从巴黎乔迁故居之后，依然贪慕虚荣，沉醉在享受之中。

该剧围绕着“樱桃园的易主与消失”这个核心，写出了贵族退出历史舞台的必然性和新兴资产阶级的兴起， [1]《樱桃园》以细腻的笔触集中地描写了19世纪末20世纪初俄国资本主义迅速发展，贵族庄园彻底崩溃的情景。

The Cherry Orchard was first produced by the Moscow Art Theatre on Chekhov's last birthday, January 17, 1904. 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 Chekhov's 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., Classic of world drama concerns passing of semifeudal order in turn-of-the-century Russia, symbolized in the sale of the cherry orchard owned by Madame Ranevskaya. Showcases Chekhov's rich sensitivities as an observer of human nature.
