About this book
In the late 19th century, societal upheaval and the struggle for moral clarity permeated Russian life. "The Power of Darkness" by Leo Tolstoy captures this tumult through the harrowing journey of Peter Ignátitch, a peasant beset by illness and despair. As he grapples with the weight of familial ties and the harsh realities of rural existence, themes of redemption and moral conflict emerge, challenging the characters to confront their darkest impulses. This gripping drama delves into the complexities of human relationships and the stark choices that define them. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, "The Power of Darkness" offers profound insights into the human condition and the societal forces at play during a pivotal era.
