On January 17, 1860, in Taganrog, a third child, Anton, was born into the family of a grocer. Singing in the church choir, working in my father's shop, school, and then gymnasium. It was in the gymnasium that interest in creativity and art, books and theater began to appear.
Later, this love flowed into his works, the heroes of which were actors and actresses (“No wonder the chicken sang,” “Comedian,” “Tragedian” and others). After graduating from high school, Antosha, then already actively writing humorous stories and sketches, left Taganrog and entered Moscow University, the Faculty of Medicine.
In the same year he made his debut in print; his “Letter to a Learned Neighbor” was published in the magazine “Dragonfly”. This moment can be called the moment of the birth of Antoshi Chekhonte. Humoresques, stories, feuilletons are increasingly appearing in various publications under this pseudonym.
In general, Chekhov is perhaps the only writer who had so many pseudonyms. It seems to me that his “name” was born along with the work, that is, the author creates the story, and the story creates the author.
Despite the long separation, endless correspondence, illness, jealousy, they got married in the spring of 1901. Their life was filled with love and tenderness, correspondence that deserves a separate story, a reverent attitude towards each other, but not with children... Perhaps this is the greatest punishment in life - when fate does not give it to two people who so dream of offspring.
Even before his death (on the night of July 1-2, 1904), Anton Pavlovich could not help but show the sharpness of his words and thoughts. Together with the doctor, he asked for a glass of champagne. “I haven’t drunk champagne for a long time” - this phrase was the last in his life.

Nobody wants to love the ordinary person in us
"Do you love Chekhov as much as I love him?"
- I would like to ask, paraphrasing famous saying. I met him at school. Spontaneous, dizzying and exciting. I read one story after another. I “swallowed” one book and immediately reached for another. I laughed, cried, didn’t sleep at night... Few things gave me the same emotions. He inspired, took me away from this world and immediately brought me back, allowing me to feel the entire earthly surface with my feet. Novelist, playwright, doctor, traveler and man with no name - all this is him, Anton Chekhov.

“A real man consists of a husband and a rank,” - a fairly well-known phrase belongs to the witty Chekhov. In September 1898, the playwright met a group of actors from a small capital theater, including 30-year-old actress Olga Knipper. Despite the long separation, endless correspondence, illness, jealousy, they got married in the spring of 1901. Their life was filled with love and tenderness, correspondence that deserves a separate story, a reverent attitude towards each other, but not with children... Perhaps this is the greatest punishment in life - when fate does not give it to two people who so dream of offspring.
