The volume presents works including his celebrated A List of Assets and The Conspiracy of Feelings, which dramatize the turbulent collision between the idealism of the new Soviet order and the irreducible complexity of individual human desire. With sharp wit and an almost surrealist intensity, Olesha illustrates the psychological cost of conformity, staging characters who are torn between artistic integrity and the demands of a revolutionary society. His dialogue crackles with irony and poetic precision, making each play as intellectually stimulating as it is theatrically alive. This essential collection stands as a testament to Olesha's singular ability to transform political anxiety into deeply personal, enduring drama.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50948299653339,"sku":"2026200007223-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f94af874-d125-4e18-8c97-72eaaacf8c47.png?v=1793103941","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007223-secondhand-the-complete-plays","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
