Vera or The Nihilists is a play written by Oscar Wilde. The story is set in Russia during the 19th century and follows the character of Vera, a young woman who is torn between her loyalty to her father, a government official, and her love for a nihilist revolutionary named Michael. As the play unfolds, the audience is taken on a journey of political intrigue, betrayal, and love as Vera must navigate the dangerous world of political revolutionaries while trying to protect her family and her heart. The play explores themes of loyalty, love, and the consequences of political revolution. With Wilde's signature wit and clever dialogue, Vera or The Nihilists is a compelling and thought-provoking play that examines the complexities of love and politics in a turbulent time in Russian history.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.
