# Vera; Or, The Nihilists

By Oscar Wilde.

"Vera; Or, The Nihilists" by Oscar Wilde is a tragedy written in 1880. Set in imperial Russia, the play follows Vera, a barmaid who transforms into the Nihilists' top assassin after her brother is imprisoned. When she discovers that Alexis, her fellow revolutionary and love interest, is actually the heir to the throne, she faces an impossible choice between loyalty to the cause and matters of the heart. Wilde's first play explores themes of political violence, love, and sacrifice against a backdrop of revolutionary turmoil. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
