Параличем охваченым человеком. Антон Чехов faces childhood in the bustling city of Taganrog, a multilingual port town and a thriving hub of international trade on the Sea of Azov. His father, Pavel Egorovich, was a remarkable man: he was a painter, violinist, had a passion for singing, and led the church choir. Throughout his life, he fondly reminisced about the steppe where he used to drive herds of cattle as a young man. However, in his relentless pursuit to make a name for himself, provide for his family, and secure education for his children, he threw himself into commerce and opened a shop in Taganrog. Being inexperienced in the world of trade, he constantly faced setbacks in his business ventures. Perhaps that is why the father often fell victim to paralysis in the family.
