About this book
A winter stop at a Russian inn turns questions of family and duty into a conflict over political freedom. Vera Sabouroff, the innkeeper's daughter, worries about her brother Dmitri, who has gone to Moscow to study law. When soldiers arrive with prisoners bound for Siberia, she challenges an officer's claim that peasants should simply obey their masters. She offers her mother's necklace to gain access to the tired men and serves them food.
Oscar Wilde presents this drama in a prologue and four acts, with the main action set in Moscow in 1800. The palace scenes place the Czar's fear of opposition beside Prince Paul's calculated advice and the heir's appeals for mercy. Sharp exchanges between rulers and ministers give the political struggle a satirical edge.
