Interesting in Chekhovs biography

We have collected the most interesting facts from the biography of the author of the “Cherry Garden” and “Ladies with a Dog”. I had more than 50 pseudonyms “I gave the surname to medicine, with which I will not part to the grave board. With literature, sooner or later I will have to part. Secondly, medicine, which imagines itself to be serious, and playing the literature should have different nicknames, ”Czech once wrote to the writer Viktor Bilibin.

For this reason, the writer was in no hurry to indicate the publication of his present name. However, he did not dwell on one fictional: in total, researchers have about 50 pseudonyms in the creative biography of the playwright, which makes Chekhov an absolute record holder in this area. By the way, you were probably told about one of the fictional names at school in literature lessons: under the pseudonym of Antosh Chekhont, he published short humorous stories at the very beginning of his creative path.

The writer felt special tenderness for dachshunds, jokingly claiming that these funny dogs were a cross between mongrels and crocodiles. Chekhov had two of them at once, both spoiled pets. They were called Hina and Brom, in honor of medicines. Later, however, when the dogs grew up, Anton Pavlovich considered it disrespectful to turn to the pets by names and came up with a middle name.

So the dachshunds became Hina Markovna and Brom Isaevich.

The writer of the soul did not dull the dogs, allowed them to sleep with him in the same bedroom, carried him everywhere and even came up with funny plays for them at the home theater. Love for four -legged friends is reflected in Chekhov’s work. So, for example, the writer partially wrote off the famous Kashtanka from his own dogs. The writer also had other pets - two mongoons brought from Ceylon.

It was very responsible for writing activity for nothing in vain that the insight, the night appearance of the muses and suddenly surpassed inspiration is nothing more than a myth, designed to romanticizing hard writer's work.

Chekhov treated literary creativity without any sentimentality, moreover, with great food. With him, there was often a notebook where the classic brought both randomly overheard conversations and the images of the people they met. If the notebook was not at hand at the right time, the writer made brief sketches on business cards, napkins, paper shreds, which he then carefully kept.

A prose writer worked at a watch strictly designated for this, never retreating only with rare exceptions from the schedule verified by the years. In addition, Chekhov did not allow himself to be untidy: at the desk, he was sitting every time in a suit and with a butterfly. The marriage of Chekhov with actress Olga Knipper, although he was happy, turned to his wife, however, it lasted, however, only three years, and then his wife spent most of his wife.

The progressive disease of the writer, who made itself felt in his student years, forced him to hastily move from Moscow to Yalta, Olga had to stay at home so as not to part with the theater. Separation served as a reason for the emergence of a touching correspondence that lasted months - now the researchers have about a thousand letters. Despite all the tenderness of the messages of the playwright, often they can find rather unusual, funny nicknames with which Chekhov awarded his wife.

So, he turned to her “Actresska”, “My Dog”, “My Balbling”. At the same time, other words often appeared in letters, more characteristic of the word in love: "Sweet, glorious, kind, smart wife, my Svetik." The habit of writing a letter to her husband was preserved with the actress and after his death. Knipper survived Chekhov for as many as fifty -five years, so never got married.
