His daughter Sonya and her husband - the titular Vanya - manage his affairs. However all is not well in the Serebryakov household, with drama swift to follow the professor's announcement to sell his country estate. \u003cbr\u003e The result of this sudden revelation is scheming, romantic and otherwise, between the play's nine principle characters. The tensions crescendo as we see what Vanya and others may resort to as the security to which they were accustomed is imperilled, and difficulties thought consigned to the past shockingly resurfaces. \u003cbr\u003e Essentially a extensive rewrite of his play The Wood Demon, authored over a decade earlier, Uncle Vanya reflects the stylistic improvements which Chekhov learned in the intervening period. The cast of characters is trimmed - the original's twenty become just nine - which allows the plot to flow easier and for the audience to better follow the scenes. \u003cbr\u003e Having been staged many times, and adapted for both TV and the silver screen around the world, Uncle Vanya is today considered a classic of Russian literature for its characterisation and intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.1 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 05, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42115092185223,"sku":"9781536894011","price":8.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/70c96aa4ced952986c22c7ed310cdbf7.webp?v=1732505969","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/uncle-vanya-paperback-5","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
