Produktbeschreibung

Leonid Andreyev's novel 'Anathema' is a thought-provoking exploration of religious extremism and societal oppression in early 20th-century Russia. Written in a stark and brutal style, Andreyev's work delves into the consequences of blind faith and the clash between traditional beliefs and modern ideologies. The novel's bleak tone and vivid imagery create a haunting portrayal of the human condition under extreme circumstances, making it a compelling read for those interested in Russian literature and existential themes. 'Anathema' stands out as a powerful depiction of the struggles faced by individuals caught in the turmoil of conflicting ideologies. Andreyev's ability to capture the complexities of human nature in a time of crisis adds depth to the narrative, further immersing the reader in the harsh realities of the world he portrays. I highly recommend 'Anathema' to readers seeking a challenging and thought-provoking examination of the human experience through the lens of religious fanaticism.

Autorenporträt

Leonid Andreyev (1871-1919) has a special place in Russian literature. Labeled by many as the father of Russian expressionism, Andreyev's style is rich and diverse, blending literary traits from the schools of Symbolism, Naturalism, and Realism. The writer's fame is mostly felt in his translations of H. P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard, and through his stories, written in the vein of Edgar Allan Poe. His works, often haunting, dark, and controversial, reaching for the fantastic and the grotesque, include two novels, five novellas, and a number of short stories. The most well-known of them include the story "The Seven Who Were Hanged", the play "Tsar Hunger", and his novel "Sashka Zhegulev".
