About this eBook
"The Light Shines in Darkness" is a play by Leo Tolstoy set in Russian society. The narrative revolves around the challenges faced by a wealthy family and their conflicts over morality, religious belief, and the search for truth. The moral dilemmas arise during the process of self-discovery and personal transformation of Nikolai Ivanovich Saryntsov, the patriarch of a family with seven children. Elements of love, hate, forgiveness, and sacrifice are skillfully interwoven, reflecting the author's ethical and social concerns.
The play highlights internal struggles and attempts to navigate the often harsh realities of their lives. Although Tolstoy died before completing this play, he left a summary of how he intended to finish it, making the reading complete for each character. **The Light Shines in Darkness** offers a glimpse into Tolstoy's ability to create complex characters and situations that provoke reflection on universal questions of human existence.
