Savva and the Life of Man: Two Plays (1917)

Savva and The Life of Man is a collection of two plays written by the Russian author, Leonid Andreyev, and first published in 1917. The first play, Savva, tells the story of a young man who abandons his comfortable life to join a group of pilgrims on a journey to Jerusalem. Along the way, he experiences a series of trials and tribulations that force him to confront the harsh realities of life and the nature of human suffering. The second play, The Life of Man, is a symbolic allegory that explores the various stages of human life through the journey of a nameless protagonist. Through a series of encounters with different characters, the protagonist learns about the joys and sorrows of life, the inevitability of death, and the importance of finding meaning and purpose in one's existence. Both plays are characterized by Andreyev's signature style of psychological realism and his exploration of themes such as death, spirituality, and the human condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
