Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk: Selected Stories of Nikolai Leskov

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (31764 ratings)

Description:Nikolai Leskov is the strangest of the great Russian writers of the nineteenth century. His work is closer to the oral traditions of narrative than that of his contemporaries, and served as the inspiration for Walter Benjamin’s great essay “The Storyteller,” in which Benjamin contrasts the plotty machinations of the modern novel with the strange, melancholy, but also worldly-wise yarns of an older, slower era that Leskov remained in touch with. The title story is a tale of illicit love and multiple murder that could easily find its way into a Scottish ballad and did go on to become the most popular of Dmitri Shostakovich’s operas. The other stories, all but one newly translated, present the most focused and finely rendered collection of this indispensable writer currently available in English.ContentsLady Macbeth of MtsenskThe Sealed AngelThe Enchanted WandererThe Steel FleaThe Unmercenary EngineersThe Innocent PrudentiusWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
