place
Biarritz
also: Биарриц, Biarritz
A resort town on the French Atlantic coast; Volodya recalls running on the sand there with two English girls as a small child, one of the few purely happy memories that surfaces, unbidden, in his final hours.
Reading notes
- To A. S. Suvorin, May 1889. Sumy. §6 With what pleasure I'd go now to Biarritz
The French seaside resort town, invoked here as a daydream of leisure travel -- band music, women -- that Chekhov imagines joining Suvorin at, contingent on his brother's health and on finishing his novel.
