Krechinsky's Wedding is a comedic play consisting of three acts, written by Alexander Sukhovo-Kobylin. The play is set in 19th century Russia and revolves around the character of Ivan Krechinsky, a wealthy merchant who is desperate to marry into the aristocracy. Despite his wealth, Krechinsky is not accepted by the upper class due to his lack of education and social graces.The play begins with Krechinsky's attempts to woo the daughter of a nobleman, but he is unsuccessful. He then sets his sights on another noblewoman, but her father demands a large dowry that Krechinsky cannot afford. In a desperate attempt to win her hand, Krechinsky convinces his servant to impersonate a wealthy nobleman and offer a large dowry. The plan succeeds and Krechinsky is able to marry the woman of his dreams.However, the wedding ceremony itself is chaotic and absurd, with various mishaps and misunderstandings occurring throughout. The play ultimately satirizes the social hierarchy of 19th century Russia and the lengths that individuals will go to climb the social ladder.Overall, Krechinsky's Wedding is a humorous and entertaining play that offers a commentary on the societal norms and values of its time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
