Thunderstorm

"Thunderstorm" was born from Ostrovsky's literary expedition along the Volga — and from the passionate love of the young playwright for the actress Lyubov Kositskaya.

It was her best traits that shaped the character of Katerina Kabanova, and she was the first to play this role on stage. The play became a significant event in the literary life of its time and still does not leave the theatrical scene.
Raised in parental love and affection, Katerina finds herself in a home after marriage where life is governed by strict household laws and the cruel will of her mother-in-law.

And to her misfortune, she falls in love with another man… Is she ready to risk everything — even the purity of her soul — for this unexpected love?
The book includes the plays "Thunderstorm" and "The Dowryless".
