Autorenporträt
Aleksandr Nikolaevich Ostrovsky (1823-1886) was a seminal Russian playwright who left an indelible mark on Russian theatre and drama. Born in Moscow, Ostrovsky dedicated his life to depicting the nuances of Russian society, particularly of the merchant class, with an authenticity and acuity rarely matched by his contemporaries. His prolific output in the realm of dramatic literature rendered him a pioneer in the use of the Russian vernacular onstage, giving voice to the complexities of social relations in 19th-century Russia. One of Ostrovsky's most famous works, 'The Storm' (also known as 'Groza'), written in 1859, skillfully portrays human passions and the conflicts that arise from traditional societal norms versus individual desires. This play, like many of Ostrovsky's works, is characterized by its lyrical realism, providing keen insight into the lives of ordinary Russians fraught with moral dilemmas. 'The Storm' remains a classic of Russian drama and is notable for its progressive portrayal of female characters, shedding light on their struggles for independence and fulfillment against a backdrop of social oppression. Ostrovsky's significant contributions to Russian literature can be felt through the continued relevance and performance of his plays, and his role in shaping the Moscow Maly Theatre, often regarded as the cradle of Russian drama.
