Often presented as short farces or even one-note jokes, these plays are much more. Here characters struggle, are lost, unaware, scared ⁠-⁠ and always recognizably human. And as with Chekhov's great full-length plays, the \"comedy\" of these \"comedies\" is that of being profoundly human. LITTLE COMEDIES is newly translated by Larissa Volokhonsky and Richard Pevear (the foremost translators of Russian literature into English alive today) and playwright Richard Nelson.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 72\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.15 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 02, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51747879518496,"sku":"9798888560013","price":18.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/c8285042b0a7d7b41731f9d88d47be08.webp?v=1779901285","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/little-comedies-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
