Aleksandr Nikolaevich Ostrovsky

    Alexander Ostrovsky è una figura di spicco del dramma russo, ampiamente considerato il principale rappresentante del periodo realista russo. Le sue opere offrono profonde intuizioni sul tessuto sociale del suo tempo, catturandone con abilità le complessità sociali e psicologiche. Ostrovsky intreccia magistralmente critiche ai mali sociali con un linguaggio ricco e personaggi avvincenti, assicurando che le sue opere risuonino con un potere e una rilevanza duraturi.

      Includes the plays The Forest, Artistes and Admirers, Wolves and Sheep and Sin and Sorrow Four of Ostrovsky’s finest plays. The best known of these, The Forest (1871), has two young lovers in thrall to their tyrannical elders, who are prevented from marrying until a pair of strolling actors come to their rescue. In Artistes and Admirers (1881), a comedy of theatre life, a dedicated young actress renounces both love and fortune in order to pursue her sacred calling. In the comedy Wolves and Sheep (1875) Ostrovsky returns to a favourite theme, the double-dealing and hypocrisy of the Russian landowning classes, while the melodrama Sin and Sorrow (1863) explores the tragic consequences of a bored provincial wife’s brief affair.
