Ă propos de ce livre
The Light Shines in Darkness by Leo Tolstoy - is an unfinished play by Leo Tolstoy, written in 1890. Arguably his most autobiographical piece, the play is said to 'mirror Leo Tolstoy's highly personal dilemma as if seen through the crucible of the family.The scene represents the verandah of a fine country-house, in front of which a croquet-lawn and tennis-court are shown, also a flower-bed. The children are playing croquet with their governess. Mary IvĂĄnovna SarĂœntsova, a handsome elegant woman of forty; her sister, AlexĂĄndra Ivanovna Kohovtseva, a stupid, determined woman of forty-five; and her husband, Peter SemyĂłnovich KĂłhovtsef, a fat flabby man, dressed in a summer suit, with a pince-nez, are sitting on the verandah at a table with a samovĂĄr and coffee-pot. Mary IvĂĄnovna SarĂœntsova, AlexĂĄndra IvĂĄnovna KĂłhovtseva, and Peter SemyĂłnovich KĂłhovtsev are drinking coffee, and the latter is smoking.
