Uncle Vanya (TCG Classic Russian Drama Series) by Anton Chekov [Paperback]

Description: "Pevear and Volokhonsky are at once scrupulous translators and vivid stylists of English." --New Yorker The sixth play in the TCG Classic Russian Drama Series. Vanya and his niece Sonya manage to care for the family estate, but when his brother-in-law, a distinguished professor, returns with his new wife and announces his plans to sell the estate, Vanya and Sonya are rattled. One of the most celebrated American playwrights, Richard Nelson, continues his collaboration with preeminent translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky to take on one of Chekhov's most revered plays, which explores a family whose differences are far deeper than what lies on the surface. Richard Nelson's many plays include Rodney's Wife, Goodnight Children Everywhere, Drama Desk-nominated Franny's Way and Some Americans Abroad, Tony Award-nominated Two Shakespearean Actors, James Joyce's The Dead (with Shaun Davey), for which he won a Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical, and the critically acclaimed, searing play cycles The Apple Family and The Gabriels. Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky have produced acclaimed translations of Leo Tolstoy, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Nikolai Gogol, Anton Chekhov, and Mikhail Bulgakov. Their translations of The Brothers Karamazov and Anna Karenina won the 1991 and 2002 PEN/Book-of-the-Month Club Translation Prizes. Pevear, a native of Boston, and Volokhonsky, of St. Petersburg, are married to each other and live in Paris.
