Publisher's Synopsis
Redemption: And Two Other Plays is a collection of three plays written by the renowned Russian author, Leo Tolstoy. The first play, Redemption, centers around the character of a wealthy landowner who seeks redemption for his past sins by helping a group of peasants. The second play, The Power of Darkness, explores the themes of greed, jealousy, and betrayal in a story of a young couple who are forced to marry against their will. The final play, Fruits of Culture, is a satirical comedy that ridicules the hypocrisy and corruption of the Russian aristocracy. All three plays reflect Tolstoy's deep concern for social justice and his belief in the power of individual conscience. Published in 1919, Redemption: And Two Other Plays remains a powerful and thought-provoking work of literature that continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
