Summary "Plays: Complete Edition, Including the Posthumous Plays" by graf Leo Tolstoy is a collection of theatrical works written in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This compilation includes some of Tolstoy's most significant plays, providing insights into his thoughts on morality, society, and individual struggles. The collection showcases Tolstoy’s capacity to explore complex human emotions and social issues through dramatic narratives. The book contains several plays written during Tolstoy's life, including "The Power of Darkness," which reflects the moral and social decay of society, and "Fruits of Culture," a comedic take on the themes of temperance and social justice. It also includes posthumous works such as "The Live Corpse," which delves into themes of life, death, and the pursuit of meaning. Each play is characterized by its deep psychological exploration and moral questioning, often reflecting Tolstoy's own philosophical beliefs. The collection serves not only as a theatrical piece but also as a profound commentary on the human condition, making it an essential read for those interested in literature that probes existential themes.
