Ostrovsky's two most poignant dramas are about inner freedom that transcends the confines of the familiar world.

"The Storm" was born out of Ostrovsky's literary expedition along the Volga—and out of the young playwright's passionate love for the actress Lyubov Kositskaya. It was her best traits that inspired the character of Katerina Kabanova, and she was the first to perform this role on stage. The play became a landmark event in the literary life of its time and remains a constant presence on the stage to this day.

Raised in parental love and affection, Katerina, after her marriage, finds herself in a home where life is subject to the laws of the Domostroy and the cruel will of her mother-in-law. And to her misfortune, she falls in love with another man... Is she ready to risk everything—even the purity of her soul—for this unexpected love?

The book also includes the play "The Dowry," a drama about a girl dreaming of love in a world where money and status determine a person's worth. Larisa becomes hostage to the decisions of others, her sincerity powerless against cold calculation.
