<div><i>Shipwreck</i> is the second part of <i>The Coast of Utopia</i>, Tom Stoppard's long-awaited and monumental trilogy that explores a group of friends who came of age under the Tsarist autocracy of Nicholas I, and for whom the term intelligentsia was coined. Among them are the anarchist Michael Bakunin, who was to challenge Marx for the soul of the masses; Ivan Turgenev, author of some of the most enduring works in Russian literature; the brilliant, erratic young critic Vissarion Belinsky; and Alexander Herzen, a nobleman's son and the first self-proclaimed socialist in Russia, who becomes the main focus of this drama of politics, love, loss, and betrayal. In <i>The Coast of Utopia</i>, Stoppard presents an inspired examination of the struggle between romantic anarchy, utopian idealism, and practical reformation.</div>
