Book Overview

Redemption: And Two Other Plays is a collection of three plays written by the acclaimed Russian author Leo Tolstoy. The first play, Redemption, tells the story of a wealthy landowner named Dmitri Ivanovich Nekhlyudov who realizes the error of his ways and seeks to make amends for his past misdeeds. The second play, The Power of Darkness, explores the themes of greed, lust, and betrayal through the story of a peasant family torn apart by the actions of its members.
