The Storm
These great writers have given us admirable pictures of the people's life as it appeared to them at the angle of the educated Westernised Russian mind; but here in "The Storm" is the atmosphere of the little Russian town, with its primitive inhabitants, merchants, and workpeople, an atmosphere untouched, unadulterated by the ideas of any outside European influence. It is the Russia of Peter the Great and Catherine's time, the Russian patriarchal family life that has existed for hundreds of years through all the towns and villages of Great Russia, that lingers indeed to-day in out-of-the-way corners of the Empire, though now invaded and much broken up by modern influences. It is, in fact, the...

The Storm
The Storm (sometimes translated as The Thunderstorm) is a drama in five acts by the 19th-century Russian playwright Aleksandr Ostrovsky. As with Ostrovsky's other plays, The Storm is a work of social criticism, which is directed particularly towards the Russian merchant class.
Plays
The following book is a collection of plays written by Alexander Nikolayevich Ostrovsky, a Russian playwright, generally considered the greatest representative of the Russian realistic period. Some of his most famous works are featured here, including 'It's a Family Affair-We'll Settle It Ourselves' and 'A Protégée of the Mistress'.
The Storm
The Storm, by Ostrovsky, is generally regarded as one of the finest plays to have been written in 19th-century Russia. Contemporary critics viewed it either as showing the dark forces of conservatism or as the highest expression of love for the traditional life and character of the Russian middle class. A 19th-century drama in five acts, The Storm (like Ostrovsky's other plays) a work of social criticism directed particularly towards the Russian merchant class. The Storm provoked fierce debate in the Russian press of the time concerning moral issues. While Vasily Botkin was raving about "the elemental poetic force emerging from secret depths of a human soul... for Katerina's love is a woman'...
Without a Dowry and Other Plays
Contemporary of Turgenev, Dostoevsky, and Tolstoy and precursor to Chekhov, he was a keen sociological observer, often exposing abuses of power, landing him in trouble with the censors again and again. He wrote 47 original plays and began the tradition of acting today associated with Stanislavsky. Ostrovsky’s plays were written with performance in mind and with a masterful use of colloquial language. To this day they are a much-performed part of the Russian repertory. Â This volume collects four of Ostrovsky’s key plays, each from a different decade—A Profitable Position, An Ardent Heart, Without a Dowry, and Talents and Admirers, and is rounded out by the translator’s introduction, an afterword for each play, an extensive bibliography, and complete list of Ostrovsky’s works.
The Storm
In "The Storm" there is an atmosphere of the little Russian town, with its primitive inhabitants, merchants, and workpeople, an atmosphere untouched, unadulterated by the ideas of any outside European influence. But the special triumph of "The Storm" is that although it is a realistic picture of old-fashioned Russian patriarchal life, it is one of the deepest and simplest psychological analyses of the Russian soul ever made. Alexander Nikolayevich Ostrovsky (1823 - 1886) was a Russian playwright, generally considered the greatest representative of the Russian realistic period. Ostrovsky's dramas in general are marked by intense somberness, biting humor and merciless realism. "The Storm" is the most poetical of his works, but all his leading plays still hold the stage.
