First published in her Chekhov: Four Plays and Three Jokes , Sharon Marie Carnicke's eye-opening translation of Three Sisters appears in this edition with a new Introduction that expands upon her discussion in Four Plays & Three Jokes of Chekov's innovative dramaturgy--especially as seen in this subtle melodrama turned inside out.

Anton Chekhov is known as one of the world's greatest playwrights and short story writers. He penned the following plays: The Cherry Orchard; The Seagull; Three Sisters; Uncle Vanya; and the short story: Gooseberries.

Sharon Marie Carnicke is Professor of Theatre and Slavic Literatures, University of Southern California.

"Carnicke's translation of Three Sisters shows her background in the Slavic ﬁeld to good advantage. Chekhov doesn't emerge as 'the voice of Twilight Russia,' or anything mawkish at all, as he sometimes does, but as a sharp-eyed watcher of some very silly people. Carnicke understands Chekhov and understands Russia." -- Robert L Belknap, Professor Emeritus of Slavic Languages, Columbia University
