Anton Pavlovics Csehov - Sirály - translated by Morcsányi Géza

Anton Chekhov's celebrated play The Seagull is presented in this edition in a new translation by Géza Morcsányi. The classic text is rendered in fresh, contemporary language, making it immediate and vivid for today's readers and theatre lovers alike.

The story unfolds on the Sorin estate, where a theatrical performance is being prepared. This time, however, the stage belongs not to the acclaimed actress Arkadina but to her son Treplev, who hopes to prove his talent with an innovative production. The play weaves together intertwined threads of art, love and unfulfilled desire, combining subtle humour with a deep understanding of human nature.

This volume is recommended to lovers of fiction, readers of drama, students and theatre professionals alike. Morcsányi's translation makes one of the most significant works in Chekhov's oeuvre accessible once again to readers.
