Há 100 anos, morria em Badenweiler, Alemanha,
Anton Tchekov.
Leo Rabeneck, um estudante russo que se hospedara no mesmo hotel, relata os últimos momentos do escritor.

"The doctor began giving him the oxygen. After a few minutes he whispered to me to go downstaires to the hall porter and fetche a bottle of champagne and a glass. Once more I desappeared and returned some time later with the champagne. The doctor filled the glass almost to the brim and offered it to Anton Pavlovich. The later accepted it with pleasure, smiled his attractive smile, said «Its a long time since I last drank champagne» and gallantly drained the glass in one go."
