Description
The play was written—its first draft in 1889, its final version in 1890. First published in 1891 in the book “In Memory of S. A. Yuryov. A Collection Published by the Friends of the Deceased.”
The classic author conceived this work as a joke for a home theater. In the play, he satirized a fashionable among the nobility fascination with spiritualism. He worked on the comedy for a long time—yet behind the teasing text, serious social problems are revealed: the clash between the elite and ordinary peasant folk.
