Com A estepe, pela primeira vez Anton Tchékhov, aos 28 anos e já com vasta quilometragem como colaborador de jornais e revistas literárias, tentou produzir uma narrativa mais extensa. Tarefa desafiadora, mas, como se lê hoje, bem-sucedida. O subtítulo parece sintetizar a situação central: a viagem de um menino que parte para estudar em outra cidade e, para isso, percorre por alguns dias a vasta estepe russa. Mas também apresenta o caráter múltiplo do texto: um relato da experiência, uma narrativa ficcional, um estudo de tipos humanos, a pintura da natureza, além de retratos das atividades econômicas, das relações sociais e das mudanças de comportamento em curso.

El viaje de un niño de nueve años a través de la estepa ucraniana, rumbo al instituto en que habrá de cursar sus primeros estudios, dibuja la línea argumental de La estepa (1888), la novela corta que proporcionó a Chéjov reconocimiento y que le convirtió en un escritor de éxito. En El barranco (1900), donde el adulterio alterna con el asesinato y los más variados delitos, una impresión de fluidez conseguida sin forzar en ningún momento el estilo caracteriza el relato de principio a fin.

Author Information
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was born in the provincial town of Taganrog, Ukraine, in 1860. In the mid-1880s, Chekhov became a physician, and shortly thereafter he began to write short stories. Chekhov started writing plays a few years later, mainly short comic sketches he called vaudvilles. The first collection of his humorous writings, Motley show more Stories, appeared in 1886, and his first play, Ivanov, was produced in Moscow the next year. In 1896, the Alexandrinsky Theater in St. Petersburg performed his first full- length drama, The Seagull. Some of Chekhov's most successful plays include The Cherry Orchard, Uncle Vanya, and Three Sisters. Chekhov brought believable but complex personalizations to his characters, while exploring the conflict between the landed gentry and the oppressed peasant classes. Chekhov voiced a need for serious, even revolutionary, action, and the social stresses he described prefigured the Communist Revolution in Russia by twenty years. He is considered one of Russia's greatest playwrights. Chekhov contracted tuberculosis in 1884, and was certain he would die an early death. In 1901, he married Olga Knipper, an actress who had played leading roles in several of his plays. Chekhov died in 1904, spending his final years in Yalta. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
