Very Good

Only very slightly sunned where a smaller book has stood next to this one, on the front board. Tiny dent to outer edge of front board. Very small dot blemish on title page. Otherwise the contents are clean bright and very good throughout. Play composed by Chekhov in 1884. Published first by the Russian Central Archives in 1923 after having been rewritten, then published again in Russia in 1949, upon which Ashmore's translation is based. Less of a translation and more of a total reconstruction it appears.

Then signed, 'Basil Ashmore.' 120pp. 4 additional enclosures. 1. Christmas card from Ashmore loosely laid in. 2.

..,mittlere Erhaltung, Einband gebräunt, Rücken etwas beschädigt Halbleinen , ohne Schutzumschlag , 73. - 97.Tsd. Eric Robert Russell Linklater (* 8. März 1899 in Dounby, Orkney; 7. November 1974 in Orkney) war ein schottischer Schriftsteller. Er verbrachte seine Kindheit auf den Orkney-Inseln. Sein Studium der Medizin und der englischen Literatur musste er während des Ersten Weltkrieges unterbrechen. Nach dem Krieg graduierte er in englischer Literatur und arbeitete mehrere Jahre in Bombay für The Times of India, bevor er in die USA ging. In den USA schrieb er sein erstes Buch, das in England ein großer Erfolg wurde. Später lehrte er englische Literatur an der Universität Aberdeen und war einige Jahre ihr Rektor. In seinem gesamten literarischen Schaffen (Romane, Essays, Dramen, Biographien, Kinderbücher, Satiren) blieb er seiner Heimat Schottland treu. Oft zeigt er in seinen Werken die menschlichen Schwächen auf, aber ohne dabei verletzend zu werden.
