Sinopsis

The Man Who Was Dead, The Cause of it All, and The Light That Shines in the Darkness are the three plays left by Tolstoy for publication after his death.áThe Light That Shines in the Darkness -- the last of TolstoyâÇÖs plays, was left unfinished. In Russia it is prohibited on account of its allusions to the refusal of military service.áYet it is in some ways the most interesting of TolstoyâÇÖs posthumous works. It is obviously not strictly autobiographical, for Tolstoy was not assassinated as the hero of the piece is, nor was his daughter engaged to be married to a young prince who refused military service.áBut like some of his other writings, the play is semi-autobiographical. In it, not only has Tolstoy utilised personal experiences, but more than that, he answers the question so often asked:áWhy, holding his views, did he not free himself from property before he grew old?
