被列夫·托尔斯泰誉为“俄国散文的普希金”的伟大的俄罗斯现实主义文学大师和戏剧家安东·契诃夫离开这个世界已逾百年。在那个他痛感“再也不能这样生活下去”的年代,死于肺结核的契诃夫,年仅44岁。他在逝世前赶写出的话剧《樱桃园》由他的夫人克尼碧尔首演于莫斯科,半年后契诃夫离开了人世。 The great Russian realistic literary masters and dramatist Anton Chekhov, whom Lev Tolstoy proclaims as “The Pushkin of Russian Prose,” left the world for more than a century. At the age of his pain, “no longer able to go on living,” Chekhov died of tuberculosis at the age of 44 years. The drama “Cherry Orchard” he wrote before his death was premiered in Moscow by his wife Knibel and six months later Chekhov died.
