socio-cultural context of his time. At the start of the work, Chekhov's letters reveal his warm and humorous style, as well as his deep affection for his family. In one letter, he encourages his brother Misha to recognize his own worth and dignifies the art of reading, while in another, he reflects on the mundane experiences of travel with a mix of wit and melancholy. The initial excerpts lay the foundation for understanding Chekhov not just as a playwright and storyteller, but as a compassionate family member grappling with the burdens and joys of life, thereby inviting readers to explore the poignant simplicity and complexity of human connections through his eyes.
