Sakhalin Island (Paperback, annotated edition)

"Oneworld Classics" will include the greatest masterpieces of all time, from every literature and genre and will also redefine and enrich the classics canon by promoting unjustly neglected works of enduring significance. In 1890, the thirty-year-old Chekhov, already knowing that he was ill with tuberculosis, undertook an arduous eleven-week journey from Moscow across Siberia to the penal colony on the island of Sakhalin. Collected here for the first time in one volume are the fully annotated translations of Chekhov's impressions of his trip through Siberia. Highly valuable both as a detailed depiction of the Tsarist system of penal servitude and as an insight into Chekhov's motivations and objectives for visiting the colony and writing the expose, "Sakhalin Island" is a haunting work of tremendous importance which had a huge impact both on Chekhov's subsequent work and on Russian society.
