The Thunderstorm and Other Plays

Alexander Nikolayevich Ostrovsky (1823-1886) is a famous Russian playwright and literary figure, whose contribution to the development of Russian theater is invaluable.
In Ostrovsky's opinion, theater is meant to be a «school of morals» and thus he saw the creation of a popular theater as his life's work. His plays are filled with vivid images of merchant life, the struggle of eternal passions, and lively characters, the diversity of which creates a multifaceted, rich human world. Ostrovsky did not invent plots - life suggested them to him.
This edition includes the plays «The Thunderstorm», «The Forest», and «The Dowryless Girl». «How can one not love a woman, for she gave us God» - this is the thread that unites the three most famous plays of playwright A. N. Ostrovsky in this book.
