About this book
"Fruits of Culture" by graf Leo Tolstoy is a play written in 1889–90 and published in 1891. This satirical work exposes the Russian landed aristocracy's condescending attitudes toward peasants during a time of social upheaval. Originally drafted as an incomplete manuscript, the play was completed at his family's urging for a private performance at Tolstoy's estate. The production blurred reality and fiction, using real names from local gentry. Konstantin Stanislavski's 1891 Moscow production launched the play's enduring presence in Russian theater.
