Summary
Vladimir Kataev explores the bonds and rifts that shaped the course of Chekhov’s writing, providing overviews of his acquaintance with prominent figures of his time, including Pablo de Sarasate, Nikolai Leskov, Leo Tolstoy, and Pyotr Tchaikovsky; and exploring his closer, more complex friendships with such figures as Vladimir Korolenko, Ivan Leontiev-Shcheglov, Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko, and Alexei Suvorin.
