About the author

Leonid Andreyev

1871–1919

A master of dark, intense fiction, this Russian writer brought psychological pressure and moral unease to stories and plays that still feel startlingly modern. His work moves between realism and early expressionism, with a sharp eye for fear, suffering, and the limits of human endurance.
