The Sneeze

Comprising four one-act comic vaudevilles and four short stories adapted for the stage by Michael Frayn The Sneeze introduces readers to a less familiar selection of work by one of the greatest precursors of modern drama. First published in 1989 this reissue includes The Sneeze; The Alien Corn; The Bear; The Evils of Tobacco; The Inspector-General; Swan Song; The Prospect and Plots. Michael Frayns translations of Chekhovs work marry the expertise of the translator with the innate understanding of a master dramatist and are widely regarded as the truest most authentic renderings of Chekhovs work: His keen imaginative sympathy with the great Russian dramatist extends beyond translation ...But translation is an art at which he excels.
