PRESENTATION COPY INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY ANTON CHEKHOV TO MAXIM GORKY: “To Alexei Maximovich / Peshkov-Gorky / to the memory of our / meeting in Yalta / 19 December, 1899 / Anton Chekhov.” Chekhov inscribes a copy of his classical story of the abuse of psychiatry, to the young admirer remembering his visit in Yalta, in 1899. Ekaterina Peshkova, Maxim Gorky’s wife describes a meeting of Gorky with Chekhov this inscription might refer to: “On March 19, 1899, when Alexey Maximovich Gorky came to Yalta, he met Chekhov there. He wrote me: ‘Chekhov is a wonderful person. He is very soft, kind and attentive. People love him. He has crowds of friends, and someone is always striking up a conversation with him. I have never had such pleasure from a conversation as when I talked with him.’” (Serkirin, Memories of Chekhov, Jefferson, N.C., 2011, p. 168). Gorky and Chekhov remained friends until he died in 1904.
