Description
Alexander Nikolayevich Ostrovsky’s comedy “Truth Is Good, but Happiness Is Better” is a cheerful and wise story about the fact that in the life of every person there is room for happiness.
A wealthy and powerful merchantwoman, Mavra Tarasovna Baraboshyeva, wants to marry off her granddaughter Poliksena to a general. But the girl is in love with a poor clerk, Platon—an analyzer who loves truth. No one knows how everything would end if the old nanny Philizata didn’t bring into the house a retired under-officer, Sila Yerofeyevich Groznoy, in whom Baraboshyeva recognized the love of her youth… So what’s better after all—truth or happiness?
