Synopsis
'The typical Russian story-writers may be looked upon...as human nature's sternest painters, presenting with grim impressive power the psychological subtleties of abnormal individualities; the realism of gloom rather than that of glamour.' Intense, sombre and dramatic, the short stories gathered in this volume give a powerful insight into the Russian mind and culture. They convey as much about the country's dark past and its troubled soul as any history books. Here are contributions from Leonid Andreyev, 'a writer who has supped on horrors', and from Madame Merejkorsky, who 'blends the idyllic with something almost deeper than tragedy'. For necessary contrast, this selection also presents stories with lighter and more optimistic touches of hop, humanity and, above all, of humour-the sardonic wit that Russian writers wielded so well. These tales of love and death, futility and betrayal, will linger long in the memory, and furnish the reader with an unconditionally good read.
