More about the book
Brutally honest in its portrayal of human desperation, the play delves into themes of greed, betrayal, and moral decay within the context of impoverished peasant life. Anisya's seduction of farmhand Nikita, driven by fear of losing their farm, leads to manipulation and tragedy, particularly for the orphan Marinka. Tolstoy contrasts the romanticized view of rural existence with harsh realities, creating a narrative that explores the conflict between man, nature, and self. This edition presents a classic of Russian literature for contemporary audiences.
