Praise for Anton Chekhov: A Brother's Memoir "This wonderful translation (by Eugene Alper) of a hundred-year-old biography by Anton Pavlovich's younger brother, secretary and assistant, offers uncommon first-hand insight into family dynamics and history as well as background on some of Chekhov's literary works." Amazon.com "Originally published in Russia in 1933, this is the first English translation of Mikhail Chekhov’s memoir of his brother Anton. Marking the 150th anniversary of Chekhov’s birth, it offers a matchless eyewitness view of a man remarkable not just for literary genius but heroic decency." The Sunday Times (UK) "This charming book will appeal primarily to academics and those interested in Chekhov, his family, and the 150th anniversary of Chekhov's birth." Library Journal "Anton Chekhov’s younger brother Mikhail published this book in 1933 but it has not appeared in English until now. When he wrote it, Mikhail Chekhov was nearing the end of his life..." The Buffalo News "Anton Chekhov: A Brother's Memoir, finally translated into English, offers a gossipy remembrance of a beloved brother by a man who continues to miss him." The Los Angeles Times ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
Certified by the California court system (badge
#301404), Eugene has translated (in writing),
interpreted (orally), edited, and proofread for twenty
years (he started very young). As a simultaneous
interpreter he did live broadcasts at the Russian Radio
KMNB in Los Angeles and as a consecutive interpreter
he worked for the global Language Line Services.
In writing, he's translated personal correspondence,
plays, articles, advertisement, scripts, interviews, and
songs working for Paramount, Universal, Warner Bros,
and Fox (watch a clip from RiO where the antagonist
sings Eugene's lyrics)—but this is only for money. For
fun, he translates court briefs, writs of appeal, diplomas,
transcripts, birth certificates, informational and training
materials for government and business.
Eugene's literary work has often been of or about Anton
Chekhov. While he was a graduate student at UCLA,
Eugene translated, with Carl Mueller, Chekhov's four
major plays. In 2007, he published his translation of the
memoir by Chekhov's personal physician Isaac Altshuller
(read in PDF). And in 2011 Palgrave Macmillan printed
Eugene's book-length translation of Anton Chekhov: A
Brother's Memoir by Mikhail Chekhov (here in PDF).
As a researcher, Eugene's written "Municipal Code
Enforcement: Towards the Fashion Police" (the AACE
Perspective, 2003) and “Anton Chekhov in France” (the
Other Shore, 2010). In Russian, he contributes to local
Los Angeles periodicals.
Eugene holds two Master’s Degrees—one in Public
Administration and another, naturally, in Theater.
