boys school and was kept back a year after failing a Greek
exam. By the age of sixteen he relocated to Moscow when his
family were hit by destitution and fled to avoid prison. With
the family now living in poverty, Anton had to finance his
own edcation which he did by a number of means, and even had
a little spare for his family.
Before his death, he bought an estate in
Russia, and went on to establish a better community for the
local peasants, from schools to a fire station, along with
offering his own services as a doctor.
In 1901 just three years before his death,
he married an actress, Olga Knipper, who had previously performed
within his plays. Chekhov eventually died in 1904, in Germany
(Badenweiler). Although known his his day, his international
fame did not arrive until after World War I when his works
were eventually translated into English.
