In this version O''Neill takes the structure of \u003cem\u003eUncle Vanya\u003c\/em\u003e and some characters and places them on Waverly Plantation in 1899 Louisiana. While the dialogue and characters are typically Southern, the Louisiana story perfectly parallels the situation of turn-of-the century Russia, where a new urban economy was destroying the country''s agrarian base. While Russians were suffering from typhoid and peasants were going hungry, Southerners were dying from yellow fever and displaced farmers were starving. In \u003cem\u003eUncle Victor\u003c\/em\u003e, the Mallory family, running Waverly Sugar Plantation, confronts a totally changed Louisiana.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso available in \u003cem\u003eGhosts of New Orleans\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Samuel French Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51862767305047,"sku":"9780573697616","price":12.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780573697616.jpg?v=1759918685","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/uncle-victor-9780573697616","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
