The Fruits Of Culture

The Fruits of Culture is a four-act comedy written by Leo Tolstoy in 1890. The play is set in the Russian countryside and follows the story of a wealthy merchant named Ivan Ivanovich, who is attempting to climb the social ladder by marrying his daughter, Liza, to a nobleman. However, things take a turn when a group of artists and intellectuals arrive at Ivan's estate, causing chaos and disrupting his plans. The play explores themes of social class, the role of art in society, and the importance of living a simple and honest life. Tolstoy uses humor and satire to criticize the hypocrisy and superficiality of the upper classes, while also celebrating the virtues of the common people. The Fruits of Culture is considered one of Tolstoy's lesser-known works, but it remains a significant contribution to Russian literature and a reflection of the author's social and political beliefs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
