The Power of Darkness: A Drama in Five Acts - A Drama in Five Acts

A cold, unsparing look at peasant life and a moving portrait of its poverty and ignorance, this drama centers on a character whose crimes progress from adultery to murder.

About the author

Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) was one of the greatest figures in Russian and world literature, author of War and Peace, Anna Karenina, and many other novels, short stories, and autobiographical and philosophical works. Dover also publishes several of his novels and story collections. Interpreters Aylmer Maude (1858-1938) and Louise Maude (1855-1939) met and married in Russia and were close friends of the author, who particularly valued their knowledge of Russian and the quality of their English translations. Aylmer Maude wrote a biography of Tolstoy, originally published in 1902.
