Proceeding through close, detailed readings of his most celebrated works — from the melancholic steppe landscapes of his fiction to the charged silences of The Cherry Orchard and Three Sisters — Hahn illuminates the subtle moral and psychological architecture that gives Chekhov's art its enduring power. Rather than reducing his work to biography or historical context, she argues for a Chekhov who is above all a master of indirection, whose characters reveal themselves through what they cannot bring themselves to say.\n\nPublished by Cambridge University Press, this study situates Chekhov within the broader tradition of nineteenth-century Russian literature while insisting on his radical modernity. Hahn's prose is at once scholarly and deeply engaged, making the book an indispensable companion for serious readers and students alike. Those who believe they already know Chekhov will find, on these pages, that they are only just beginning to understand him.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130627268827,"sku":"2026200010027-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f05d79dc-4d07-4158-b297-2f29ef7be4ca.png?v=1786587888","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200010027-secondhand-chekhov-a-study-of-the-major-stories-and-plays","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
