Anton Chekhov (1860–1904)
Anton Chekhov was a Russian writer and physician, widely regarded as a master of the modern short story and a major figure in realist drama. Born in Taganrog, Russia, he trained as a doctor while writing to support his family, and his best-known works include the plays The Seagull and Three Sisters, along with short stories like "The Lady with the Dog." He received the Pushkin Prize in 1888 and was later nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature. He died of tuberculosis in 1904, but his innovative, understated storytelling style went on to influence generations of writers and remains foundational to modern theatre and fiction.
