The best known of these, \u003ci\u003eThe Forest\u003c\/i\u003e (1871), has two young lovers in thrall to their tyrannical elders, who are prevented from marrying until a pair of strolling actors come to their rescue. In \u003ci\u003eArtistes and Admirers\u003c\/i\u003e (1881), a comedy of theatre life, a dedicated young actress renounces both love and fortune in order to pursue her sacred calling. In the comedy \u003ci\u003eWolves and Sheep\u003c\/i\u003e (1875) Ostrovsky returns to a favourite theme, the double-dealing and hypocrisy of the Russian landowning classes, while the melodrama \u003ci\u003eSin and Sorrow\u003c\/i\u003e (1863) explores the tragic consequences of a bored provincial wife's brief affair.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStephen Mulrine is a Glasgow-born poet and playwright who has written extensively for radio and television, and published many translations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 370\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 8.5 x 5.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 2003\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47468417319090,"sku":"9781840021981","price":37.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/1e3d0bcfa059da59bc32eff320b03b9c.webp?v=1779050043","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/ostrovsky-plays-two-the-forest-artistes-admirers-wolves-sheep-sin-sorrow-the-power-of-darkness-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
