"Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904), was a Russian physician, dramaturge and author who is considered to be among the greatest writers of short stories in history. His career as a dramatist produced four classics and his best short stories are held in high esteem by writers and critics. Chekhov practised as a medical doctor throughout most of his literary career: ""Medicine is my lawful wife"", he once said, ""and literature is my mistress""."
