WARD NO.6, A SHORT STORY BY ANTON CHEKHOV (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)
Today I'll share a review for Ward No. 6 ( Палата № 6) a short story by Anton Chekhov. First published in 1892, this story is still relevant. It criticizes society (especially its treatment of mentally ill) through observing one doctor's existential crisis. While telling a story of one doctor's burnout, Ward No.6 opens many interesting questions about human suffering and the meaning of life. While I was in Split, I stumbled across an Italian edition of this story in a that antique/second hand bookshop I told you about, so I bought it. Short stories are a great choice whenever you're pressed for time. I have already read this story in Croatian a couple of times. Possibly I had also listened to some of the Russian audio-versions on YouTube at some point, but I'm not certain. I'm actually listening to the above mentioned and linked audiobook while I'm putting this post together, just to refresh my memory. You can read this short story in English for free on...

Beautiful nature, beautiful photographs! The one with the sun reflecting in water is just amazing.
ReplyDeleteCiao Ivana! Ho letto il tuo commento sul l'olio di rosa! Possiamo fare l'acqua di rose lasciando in infusione petali di rosa nell'acqua dopo averla portata ad ebollizione, ed infine aggiungendo qualche goccia d'aceto per conservarla. Invece l'olio di rosa si ottiene con due processi chimici piuttosto complicati! Per di più servono chili di rose per estrarre un poco di olio! Un bacione
