Plot summary
The country estate has funded Professor Aleksandr Serebryakov's life in the city for years. Vanya, brother of the professor's late first wife, manages the farm with the professor's daughter Sofya and sends on the proceeds while taking only a small salary for himself. The professor returns to live there with Yelena, his young second wife. Called out to treat the professor's gout, Doctor Astrov is sent away without being seen, but he and Vanya are both drawn to Yelena, and Sofya, who is close in age to Yelena, loves Astrov. The professor is vain and irritable, and the years Vanya has given to the estate weigh on him.
