A Life in Letters. Encyclopedia of Contemporary Russian Culture. The task of translation included deciphering the truncated quotations from the plays that Efros used as captions for the photographs; thanks to her efforts, it is possible to tie the visual images to specific lines in the plays. In addition to prefatory notes on each of the five plays represented, Efros wrote an extensive reminiscence about Chekhov's relationship with the Moscow Art Theatre.
Embedded in the wordy style of nineteenth-century criticism are his strong opinions about individual performances. Fascinating as the material is, it is slow going, because Gottlieb's seventy-six endnotes—one or two per paragraph of Efros's text—are necessarily followed up during the reading, for she points out errors and enhances his views with the advantage of historical hindsight. The photographs in this section include several of Chekhov and of MAT company members at leisure as well as the models for some of Simov's settings. Although the text and photographs could not be reproduced in facsimile, there are some graphics from the original publication, as well as MAT cofounder Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko's signature after Gottlieb's translation of his introduction.
What is not explained is whether the sizes and layout of the photographic reproductions correspond to the original.
Some are full-page photographs twelve inches across, while others are small enough to fit up to ten on a page. Completing the book are four pages of Biographical Notes on over associates of the Moscow Art Theatre and other figures.
