Synopsis

Anton Chekhov, a doctor by profession and a writer by destiny, lived through a period of great social and political change in Russia. Our story begins in Taganrog, where young Anton grows up in a struggling, yet tightly-knit family. He experiences the harshness of life under a tyrannical father, and yet, finds solace in books and nature. The series then follows his journey from medical school to the discovery of his extraordinary literary talent. Weaving together Chekhov's iconic works- like The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, and The Cherry Orchard-with the events of his life, each episode will delve into the key moments that shaped his worldview. His relationships with family members, his unrequited love for actress Olga Knipper, and his friendship with fellow writers like Tolstoy and Gorky form the emotional core of the series. His struggles with illness, culminating in his untimely death from tuberculosis, add a layer of fragility and urgency to his relentless pursuit of truth in his art.

Description of Anton Chekhov:

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was a Russian playwright and short-story writer. His career as a playwright produced four classics, and his best short stories are held in high esteem by writers and critics. Along with Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg, Chekhov is often referred to as one of the three seminal figures in the birth of early modernism in the theatre. Chekhov was a physician by profession. "Medicine is my lawful wife," he once said, "and literature is my mistress."
