My favorite writer is Anton Pavlovich Chekhov. He was a dramatist and is considered to be one of the greatest writers of short stories in history.
From all his works most of all I like Chekhov's tragicomedy "The cherry garden". As for me, this work teaches us a lot about our life, our history and the relationships among generations. It shows us the relationships between members of one family, but I think it can be applied to the relationships between nations and countries.
