Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, born 1860 was a Russian short story writer, playwright and physician. He is considered to be one of the greatest short writers in the history of world literature. Anton practised as a doctor throughout his whole literary career, as he said once ""Medicine is my lawful wifeÖand literature is my mistress."" in a letter to Alexei Surorin, 11 September 1888. At the age of forty four in 1904 Mr Chekhov passed away, but his legacy lives on through his books and plays that are still being read by many.
