Bag om The Plays of Leo Tolstoy

The Plays of Leo Tolstoy is a collection of three plays by the renowned Russian author, Leo Tolstoy.

The play explores the themes of morality, sin, and redemption, and is considered one of Tolstoy's most powerful works.The second play, The First Distiller, is a historical drama set in ancient Armenia. It tells the story of a man who discovers the art of distilling and uses it to become a powerful ruler. The play explores the themes of power, ambition, and the corrupting influence of wealth.The final play in the collection, Fruits of Culture, is a satirical comedy that pokes fun at the hypocrisy and pretensions of the Russian aristocracy. The play follows a group of wealthy landowners who attempt to modernize their estate, but end up causing more harm than good. The play explores the themes of social class, tradition, and the dangers of blindly following trends.Overall, The Plays of Leo Tolstoy is a thought-provoking collection of plays that showcases Tolstoy's talent for exploring complex themes and creating compelling characters.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
