Классическое произведение Чехова в аудиоформате! Пьесы А.П. Чехова не сходят со сцен театров всего мира. Возможно, секрет такой популярности в особом взгляде автора на человеческие взаимоотношения и особом способе их изображения в художественном тексте. "Пусть на сцене все будет так же сложно и так же вместе с тем просто, как и в жизни, – говорил Чехов. – Люди обедают, только обедают, а в это время слагается их счастье и разбиваются их жизни".

В этот сборник вошли самые прославленные пьесы Островского — рвущие душу, трагические истории любви Гроза и Бесприданница, в героинях которых по-прежнему узнают себя все новые поколения читательниц, лирическая комедия Бедность не порок и увлекательная искрометно-остроумная сатирическая комедия — Свои люди — сочтемся!.

В этот сборник вошли лучшие пьесы Чехова – Чайка, Дядя Ваня, Три сестры и Вишневый сад. Главным достоинством всех чеховских пьес и его новаторством было то, что он впервые сделал предметом исследования мельчайшие детали быта и жизни людей. Он описывал повседневность, и именно через нее читатель узнает о мыслях и чувствах героев. За внешним отсутствием действия скрывается напряженная психологическая жизнь ее персонажей. "Пусть на сцене все будет так же сложно и так же вместе с тем просто, как в жизни.

Élisée Poème grave des vers sur le banc public où il passe ses journées, devant la gare de Bordeaux. Les poches de son manteau sont pleines de petits morceaux de nappes en papier où il écrit les mots de ses poètes préférés. Aucun des autres personnages de cette pièce ne restera indifférent à cet homme bienveillant que la tragédie de la vie n'aura pas épargné. Mais la poésie est un enchantement et son manteau est tout simplement magique... L'interprétation de cette pièce met en valeur toute sa fantaisie et sa poésie.
