Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk And Other Stories

An outsider by birth and instinct, the author was one of the most undeservedly neglected figures in Russian literature. He combined a profoundly religious spirit with a fascination for crime, an occasionally lurid imagination and a great love for the Russian vernacular. This volume includes a collection of his stories.

Un strain prin nastere si instinct, autorul a fost una dintre cele mai nemeritat figuri din literatura rusa. El a combinat un spirit profund religios cu o fascinatie pentru crima, o imaginatie ocazionala inspaimantatoare si o mare dragoste pentru limba rusa.
