Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Storm" by Aleksandr Nikolaevich Ostrovsky is a drama written in 1859. Set against the backdrop of the Russian merchant class, this five-act play sparked fierce moral debate upon its premiere. The work centers on a character named Katerina, whose story divided critics and audiences alike. Some praised the "elemental poetic force" of her passionate nature, while others condemned the play's controversial scenes. Despite critical controversy, it achieved tremendous box office success and inspired numerous musical adaptations, including Janáček's opera "Káťa Kabanová."
