Leonid Nikolayevich Andreyev (Russian: 袥械芯薪懈写 袧懈泻芯谢邪械胁懈褔 袗薪写褉械械胁; 1871-1919) was a Russian playwright and short-story writer who led the Expressionist movement in the national literature. He was active between the revolution of 1905 and the Communist revolution which finally overthrew the Tsarist government. His first story published was About a Poor Student, a narrative based upon his own experiences. It was not, however, until Gorky discovered him by stories appearing in the Moscow Courier and elsewhere that Andreyevs literary career really began. His first collection of stories appeared in 1901, and sold a quarter-million copies in short time. He was hailed as a new star in Russia, where his name soon became a byword. He published his short story, In the Fog in 1902. Although he started out in the Russian vein he soon startled his readers by his eccentricities, which grew even faster than his fame. His two best known stories may be The Red Laugh (1904) and The Seven Who Were Hanged (1908). His dramas include the Symbolist plays The Life of Man (1906), Tsar Hunger (1907), Black Masks (1908), Anathema (1909) and He Who Gets Slapped (1915).
Andreev receives 鈥淒iscovery of the Year鈥� prize from me.
This was my first experience with this author, and it made me go ahead and make a list of all the his works I am going to read. I was impressed by how deeply he explores the struggles of his protagonist, Vasily Fiveisky, who navigates a world filled with existential despair and isolation. Fiveisky absolutely feels like my favourite Dostoevsky鈥檚 character- struggling and seeking to find his place in this confusing word and Andreev is like 鈥淒ostoevsky light鈥� (or would be right to say 鈥渕ini鈥�, as his writing style is not primitive at all鈥�).
Andreev鈥檚 writing is both beautiful and thought-provoking, mixing vivid scenes with profound reflections on identity and the pressures of society. Andreev captures the essence of what it means to be human in a way that resonates deeply.
Period hri拧膰anske tematike kod Andrejeva je prezanimljiv. Popunjava, izokre膰e i daje drugi pogled na ono 拧to je zapisano u Bibliji i 拧to je tako po difoltu, i 拧to se ne preispituje jer je neko tako rekao.
沤ivot Vasilija Fivejskog je Andrejeva obrada Knjige o Jovu. On ne daje 膷ovjeka jakog u vjeri. 膶ovjeka 膷vrstog kao temelj. Ne. On daje 膷ovjeka. Sve拧tenika. Onog, 膷ija vjera bi trebalo da je 膷vrsta kao temelj. Ali ne. On daje 膷ovjeka koji je okru啪en neda膰ama i zlim djelima i koji polako po膷inje da sumnja. Da se bori sa sobom. Sa Bogom. Koji se polako cijepa da bi na kraju po膷eo da bje啪i od Boga koji ka啪njava, koji 膷ini da se neda膰e sru膷e na glave onih nedu啪nih. Bje啪i od Boga ljubavi i oprosta u koga je vjerovao.
Finally I found you! Even what I read is a Chinese version, even I still can't type any Russian words now.BUTBUTBUT! I love the book! It destroyed the world I used to know, it appealed me to into something dark, desperate but attractive, I can't get out.
