Uncle Vanya Audiobook

" A beautiful comedy about the suffering of ennui. "

" Ruski klasik...:) "

" ignore the edition stuff, I checked a book with nine Chekhov plays out from the library yesterday, and this was the first I read, and sigh, gasp, wow. "

" I have read this many times. And every time, I get new meaning. Chekhov created the ensemble play about relationships, and life en famile. All his characters are the protagonist, at one time or another. This year Sonia stands out for me as valiant and wise. "

" Some of this book was hard to read, not only because of the story but because of the way the slaves spoke in the South at that time. Uncle Tom's Faith and Courage are to be celebrated. My motto for this new year 2012 are Integrity, dilligence and courage. Uncle Tom had theae in abundance. "

" Let go at least once in your life. "

" I enjoyed this play. When i took my time and read through it i began understanding the characters and their situations more. To me this play is about life, struggles and living through them. "

" I didn't really enjoy this at all. I found it pointless and a little confusing. I think I'd have to read some of the history behind it to understand it better. It's also possible I read a poor translation. "

" this book makes me depressed. voinsky is funny as hell though "

" Had to read it for a class but useful for adding to my collection of Russian classics. Still trying to sort out how I feel about it. I'm mostly just depressed at Vanya's turmoil. "

" Anton Chekhov is very good at "showing" a piece of time and the character's within it without judgement. "

" The presence of vodka in every scene made me laugh, but I loved the evident tension in the house and Uncle Vanya!! "

" All the plays I've read seem to prove one thing: love is slavery. "

" I read this for a LAMDA exam, and to be honest the reason I did not enjoy it was probably due to the amount of times I had to go through one scene, but it's put me off of reading any more Chekov =/ "

" Eh... better than Medea "

" This play is better in Russian, performed by Russians, but anyone reading it should do so aloud. The play says a lot about growing old, how we deal with aging in both body and spirit. "

" A story of unsatisfying lives, elusive fates and the lack of the will to act. "

" This was read in my great books course and I truly got involved. Seeing the movie, which followed it exactly added much. The Russian darkness and the characters did come alive through the discussions. /they were there to -bserve and identify with, "

" A reading to analyze your life and your decisions. "

" I LOVE "Uncle Vanya". So much so that I used Vanya as the point of departure (and indeed destination) for my novel "Beyond The Valley Of Sex And Shopping". "

" I listened to the free audio version from LibreVox. Some of the voices were a bit annoying but on the whole it was surprisingly good. The play conveys a great mood, full of spite and tension. The characters and the interplay between them is fantastic. "

" I want to write a review really, but I can't remember what this book was like. The cover is pretty neat though. "

" I have read this many times. And every time, I get new meaning. Chekhov created the ensemble play about relationships, and life en famile. All his characters are the protagonist, at one time or another. This year Sonia stands out for me as valiant and wise. "

" Même si j'aime les personnages et le fond de l'histoire (pour les deux), c'est toujours très ardu de lire du théâtre! Soit ça nous ramène à l'école soit il est tout simplement évident que le théâtre est fait pour être vu et non lu! "

" One of my favorite Chekovs!--Well...aren't they all? Attempted murder AND attempted suicide! Ya gotta love Vanya! <br/>4.5 "

" ignore the edition stuff, I checked a book with nine Chekhov plays out from the library yesterday, and this was the first I read, and sigh, gasp, wow. "

" I didn't really enjoy this at all. I found it pointless and a little confusing. I think I'd have to read some of the history behind it to understand it better. It's also possible I read a poor translation. "

" The comic tragedy of lost hopes and stifled passion set in 1890s Russia. Christopher Hampton's adaptation stars Robert Stephens. "

" Not as wonderful as The Seagull, but the third act was absolutely beautiful. The themes he proposed (growing older and saving nature) were interesting and inspiring. I love Chekhov more everytime I read something new. "

" I think I liked it better than Three Sisters. Possibly my favorite Chekhov play so far. "
