Anton Chekhov - His own story!
This amazing Russian born author,
well-known for his short fiction and wonderful novels, didn't have
the best start in life. In 1876, while Anton was still at school
Chekhov's father was declared Bankrupt and the family moved from
Taganrog, Southern Russia to Moscow. Anton however remained for a
further three years to complete his education and sell the families
possessions. During this time he had to support himself and his
family as well as pay for his education! He achieved this by
catching and selling goldfinches, private tutoring and selling
humorous sketches about contemporary Russian life to newspapers.
Anton Chekhov finished his schooling in 1879 and moved to Moscow to
join his family. He studied medicine at Moscow University and
qualified as a doctor in 1884. He practiced as a doctor despite
writing over four hundred short stories in his short life (died of
Tuberculosis at just 44 years old). His
famous quote "Medicine is my lawful wife", "and literature is
my mistress." perfectly sums up his career.
