Zusammenfassung:"Chekhov often said that 'I am a doctor by trade and sometimes I do literary work in my free time.' This literary-biographical study uses Chekhov's trip to Sakhalin Island in the harsh wastes of Siberia to uncover new sides to him, as both a medical professional and humanitarian. Chekhov's life was dominated by humanitarian action, and his medical outlook informed his philosophical and literary development. By foregrounding these hitherto overlooked aspects of his life, Chekhov's Sakhalin Journey suggests that to understand the man we need his medicine as well as his literature, and to assess his life from his perspective as well as ours."
