i am overwhelmed ..what a masterpiece...what an impressive story..checkov was a genious..thank you for making this work available to us..thanks to the excellent narator too ..
Chekhov the master narrator blends his literary abilities with the diagnostic skills-which he acquired from his training and education as a physician- in this story of incredible depth and indescribable pathos. Chekhov used to say:" the profession of medicine is my wife and literature, my mistress". In this story, at last,both his wife and mistress meet and become one and the same. Thanks.
This filled an entire boring ride with interest and venture. Thanks to George for narrating and Anton for the writing this story. What did everyone take from this? Any keepers?
Wow! This is so powerful to me. The Narrator is impeccable! My first time hearing this story, and it reminds me of the rap mogul/billionaire, Kanye West. It is wondered how he doesn’t sleep much, and if any issues of bipolarism as he exceled/excels on excellents. People take him strange, yet he sees himself very different from the herd of standardization. I think he would find himself on the other end of bipolarism, and depresessed as noted here around 1:17:00 if his condition were medically managed. There may consequently be a loss of his talent/ billionaire status. Hallucinations in the setting of sleep deprivation
So glad to come across this on my Chekhov journey thirsty for it all. Bought A C: A Life by Donald Rayfield (recommended), have his letters, including those to Olga, but what I wanted to say is the narrator makes a difference. Some read too fast, not George. Some over-act voices, not George. Know him from Craig Johnson’s Longmire series where he nails it. And he does this as well. I’ve the Audible complete collection but read so fast it’s like it’s hard to hear. Haha Richard Armitage is to blame for my new interest in Anton with a ‘free to members’ bit of about 6 stories, and while George is great, Richard, a professional actor, and British, adds a flair that brings his words, literally, to life. Recommend that as well. What strikes me with this, is the selection closer to his passing because with time running out he didn’t mince words writing with a clarity and succinctness that’s simply brilliant. Love this man, Anton. Just adore him, totally. Listen/read Rayfield and you will not be disappointed. His life is in these stories. He wrote what he knew. And he knew a lot. Friends with all, repeat, all walks of life but nobility and politicians. That just makes me adore him more.
Chekhov seems obsessed with gardens. Do gardens exist in all his stories like character? Does President Putin have a garden that he walks in early in the mornings before heading off to the Kremlin?
English, French, Russians produced great literature. Germans, Austrians, Italians, .. music . Technology, industry, architecture … How about others .. where are they ?

George Guidall is the best Narrator ever
that's right
He would tell you so himself
Isn't he the guy who narrates all the "Longmire" books written by Craig Johnson? I think so.
@@kathryn3390did great job with Grendel by John Gardner
Thank you for introducing me to Anton Chekhov, he is an exceptional writer. ❤❤❤
... George Guidall is a Top-Drawer Narrator, Science Fiction to Romance... Splendiferous Indeed 🏴

❤️❤️
Me at beginning of story: Oh great! Checkhov audio book. I loved checkhov in when I was young.
Me at end of story: 😱
English, French, Russians produced great literature. Germans, Austrians, Italians, .. music .
Technology, industry, architecture …
How about others .. where are they ?
Russia also produced great music: Borodin, Mussorgsky, Rachmaninoff, Rimsky-Korsakov, Shostakovich, Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky, Glinka...
nonsense..you are out of place..
Lol m
