Vera or The Nihilists is a play written by Oscar Wilde, first published in 1880. It is a political drama set in Russia during the 19th century, and it explores themes of revolution, nihilism, and the struggle for power. The play centers around Vera, a young woman who becomes involved with a group of nihilists who are plotting to overthrow the government. As she becomes more deeply involved in their cause, she must confront her own beliefs and values, and decide where her loyalties lie. The play is known for its complex characters, sharp dialogue, and exploration of political and philosophical ideas. It is one of Wilde's lesser-known works, but is considered an important example of his early writing.GENERAL: Why, five years ago, when I was a plain Colonel, I remember her, your Highness, a common waiting-girl in an inn. If I had known then what she was going to turn out, I would have flogged her to death on the roadside. She is not a woman at all, she is a sort of devil! For the last eighteen months I have been hunting her, and caught sight of her once last September outside Odessa.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
