Redemption

Even the greatest authors cannot resist a love triangle. Leo Tolstoy has Fedor Protasov as one of the three sides. He is tormented by the belief that his wife Liza (side two) really loves his rival, Victor (side three). Feeling suicidal, he contemplates the best course of action. In a plot that could be 'Dallas' or 'Downton Abbey' circa 1911, Fedor does a runner to escape his life, has a fling with a Gypsy singer, joins the Gypsy life, then does another runner because his old life continues to torment him. Finally returning home, he gets a double shock. Will he run away again - or stay to face the results of his actions?

Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) was a Russian author, a master of realistic fiction and one of the world’s greatest novelists. Tolstoy’s major works include 'War and Peace' (1865–69) and 'Anna Karenina' (1875–77), two of the greatest novels of all time and pinnacles of realist fiction. Beyond novels, he wrote many short stories and later in life also essays and plays. In the years following the publication of 'War and Peace' Tolstoy - who was born to a Russian aristocratic family - had a spiritual awakening that made him a committed Christian anarchist and pacifist. His philosophy inspired Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.
