The Living Corpse is a dramatic play written by Leo Tolstoy, originally published in 1919. The story revolves around the character of Fedor Protasov, a wealthy landowner who is trapped in a loveless marriage with his wife Lisa. Fedor’s life takes a turn for the worse when he is falsely accused of murder and sent to prison. Upon his release, he discovers that his wife has moved on and is now engaged to his friend, the lawyer Ivan Petrovich. The play is divided into six acts and twelve tableaux, each depicting a different scene in Fedor’s life. As the story progresses, Fedor becomes increasingly disillusioned with his life and begins to question the meaning of existence. He is torn between his desire for revenge and his longing for forgiveness and redemption. Tolstoy’s play explores themes of love, betrayal, forgiveness, and the search for meaning in life. It is a powerful and poignant work that delves deep into the human psyche and the complexities of the human heart. The Living Corpse is a timeless masterpiece of Russian literature and a must-read for anyone interested in the works of Tolstoy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
