📱 eBook en inglés THE SEVEN WHO WERE HANGED AND OTHER STORIES

Leonid Andreiev is widely regarded as one of the most talented writers in Russian literature. In his prose, he reflected the influence of A. Chekhovs realism, the fascination with F. Dostoevskys psychological paradoxes, and a constant obsession with the insignificance of life and the inevitability of death, in the manner of L. Tolstoy. Written in 1909 and dedicated precisely to Tolstoy, "The Seven Who Were Hanged" is considered by many to be Andreievs best novel. The work masterfully and simply delves into each of the tragedies of seven condemned to death, leading the reader unrelentingly to a revelation, a state of illumination that only the best works of art offer.
