Set on a provincial Russian Estate, its peaceful environs offer stark contrast to the turbulent lives of its characters. Constantine, a young writer, must compete for the attention of his mother, a self-obsessed, often comical aging actress, Madame Arkadina, and his romantic ideal, Nina. His rival for both women is Trigorin, an established author bound to Arkadina by her patronage of his work, and attracted to Nina by her beauty. Trigorin cannot keep himself from consuming everything of value in Constantine's life. Only in the final scenes do all discover that the price for love and fragility can be horribly high. But if the words in \u003ci\u003eThe Notebook of Trigorin\u003c\/i\u003e are essentially Chekhov's, the voice belongs firmly to Tennessee Williams. The dialogue resonates with echoes of the themes Williams developed as his signatures-compassion for the artistic soul and its vulnerability in the face of the world's successfully practiced duplicity (Act I).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tennessee Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.97h x 5.19w x 0.33d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811213622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWilliams, Tennessee:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eTennessee Williams\u003c\/strong\u003e (1911-1983) is the acclaimed author of many books of letters, short stories, poems, essays, and a large collection of plays, including \u003cem\u003eThe Glass Menagerie\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eA Streetcar Named Desire\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eCamino Real, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eCat on a Hot Tin Roof\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eOrpheus Descending\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Night of the Iguana\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe Rose Tattoo\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHale, Allean:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eAllean Hale\u003c\/strong\u003e, writer and poet, was the leading authority on the early life and late plays of Tennessee Williams.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Directions Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40265603580019,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_97b88a56-a1f9-45a5-b41e-f63f319c573d.jpg?v=1657721592","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-notebook-of-trigorin-a-free-adaptation-of-chechkovs-the-sea-gull-9780811213622","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
