Weight: 17.8 ounces. Dark red cloth over boards with gilt titles at the backstrip. Hardcover with DJ. Sukhovo-Kobylin's Trilogy - Krechinshy's Wedding, The Caseand The Death of Tarelkin represent the sole literary legacy of their aristocratic author whose involvement in a sensational murder case became one of the great scandals of mid-19th century Russian society. Out of the drama of his own life, Sukhovo-Kobylin fashioned a trilogy of plays remarkable for the acidity of their satire against the tsarist bureaucracy and police. It is not only for their pungent satire that the plays have continued to attract attention ever since. They are, above all, splendidly theatrical and encompass not one but several different traditions of theatre from the "well-made play" of Scribe to the absurd comedy of Gogol. "As for sheer stagecraft, " writes Price D. S. Mirsky in his A History of Russian Literature, "they have no rivals in Russian literary drama". ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; xlix, 264 pages .
