Uncle Vanya - (Mint Editions (Plays)) by Anton Chekhov (Paperback)

Uncle Vanya is a masterful drama that explores the intersecting obligations of family and the bitterness and ambition that define men's relationships.

When retired Professor Aleksandr Serebryakov and his young second wife Yelena arrive at their country estate, they disrupt the mundanity of provincial life for its inhabitants.

Vanya, whose only companion is Mikhail Astrov, a doctor dissatisfied with his life and role in the rural community, regrets his failure to become a man of letters and blames Serebryakov for saddling him with responsibility for the estate.

He also loves Yelena but fears he has missed his chance.

As Serebryakov's decision to sell the estate is revealed, Vanya reaches his breaking point, bringing the play to a startling conclusion.

With its beautifully designed cover and profound insights into human relationships, Uncle Vanya is a must-read for anyone looking to understand the complexities of family dynamics and the human experience.
