¡Feliz Cumpleaños, Anton Chekhov!
AKA Antón Pávlovich Chéjov and Anton Pavlovich Chekhov.
Born January 29, 1860. Died July 15, 1904.
He was a famous Russian physician, writer and playwright who was most famous for such plays as The Seagull, The Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard. At least one of those plays has been a big influence on my life if for no other reason that it taught me how often life does imitate art even when it does not intend to.
Anyway, Chekhov's work is still worth reading even though most of his current fame seems to be derived from having inspired the name of a certain Star Trek character. Oh, well. There are worse legacies.
