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...

DeleteYou are such a brilliant artists and perhaps hairstylist is in your bag of tricks too? You design hair very well on paper anyway. By the way, Baja is a city in California pronounced Ba-ha. Now I have translated the joke to English :)

ReplyDeleteČim si jučer rekla da imaš kist u ruci, znala sam da nas opet čeka nešto fantastično i pogodila sam! Predivna je, i znaš da se već duže razmišljam obojati ovako, samo nikako da se baš odlučim. Svaka čast, i na čestitki za Šminkolinu, ne znam koja mi je posebnija <3
