The Cherry Orchard

Book • 1904
The Cherry Orchard is a poignant play that explores themes of social mobility, change, and the decline of the aristocracy.

The story revolves around Madame Ranevskaya's return to her family estate, only to find it threatened by financial ruin.

Despite efforts to save it, the estate is eventually sold to Lopakhin, a former peasant turned successful businessman, symbolizing the end of an era.

The play is a powerful commentary on the inability of the old aristocracy to adapt to modern realities.
