ORT Greenberg K. Tivon1 The Bet (-1889-) By Anton Chekhov Anton ChekhovAnton Chekhov Irena Tseitlin

ORT Greenberg K. Tivon2 Anton Chekhov (1860 – 1904) Russian playwright, one of the great masters of modern short story. In his work Chekhov combined the dispassionate attitude of a scientist and a doctor with the sensitivity and psychological understanding of an artist. Chekhov portrayed often life in the Russian small towns, where tragic events occur in a minor key, as a part of everyday life. His characters are passive, filled with the feeling of hopelessness and the fruitlessness of all efforts. "What difference does it make?" says Chebutykin in Three Sisters.Russian playwright, one of the great masters of modern short story.
