The Minor by Denis Fonvizin
Written in a time where education was a defining difference between the rich and the poor this story is about the Prostakov family so ignorant and brutish that they survive only through the industry of their ill-treated serfs. The plot centers on the tyrannical mother's attempts to educate her spoiled and loutish son for the civil service and to marry him to an heiress.
