This is a story of a physician who was one of the world's greatest short story writers. Anton Pavlovich Chekhov successfully performed dual careers of writing and practicing medicine during a short but productive life. Many biographers overlook Dr Chekhov's role, although his medical training and practice flowed over into his writing, influencing both his subject matter and his style. His stories and plays reveal the insights that Dr Chekhov discovered about the human psyche at work, thus delving into psychosomatic medicine nearly 50 years before its time. Despite orders to stop practicing medicine because of his own deteriorating health, Chekhov devoted himself further to the study of medicine, publishing a landmark study in social medicine that advocated reform of the Russian penal system. Meanwhile, his fictional works earned him the coveted Pushkin prize for the best literary work of the year in 1888. Shortly after celebrating his third wedding anniversary to actress Olga Knipper, Anton Chekhov died at age 44, victim of a nearly lifelong battle with tuberculosis.
这是一个关于一位医生的故事，他也是世界上最伟大的短篇小说作家之一。安东·巴甫洛维奇·契诃夫在短暂却成果丰硕的一生中成功地兼顾了写作与行医这两种职业。许多传记作者都忽略了契诃夫医生的角色，尽管他的医学训练和行医经历融入到了他的写作中，对他的题材和风格都产生了影响。他的故事和戏剧揭示了契诃夫医生所发现的关于工作中的人类心理的深刻见解，从而在身心医学出现前近50年就对其进行了深入探究。尽管由于自身健康状况恶化，契诃夫收到了停止行医的医嘱，但他仍进一步投身于医学研究，发表了一项具有里程碑意义的社会医学研究，主张对俄罗斯刑罚系统进行改革。与此同时，他的虚构作品为他赢得了令人垂涎的1888年年度最佳文学作品普希金奖。在与女演员奥尔加·克尼珀庆祝结婚三周年后不久，安东·契诃夫年仅44岁便去世了，他是一场与肺结核几乎抗争了一生的受害者。
