Produktbeschreibung
"The Dark," written by Leonid Andreyev, is a psychological masterpiece that delves into the profound complexities of the human soul. This Russian literary gem explores the darker recesses of the human psyche, offering a haunting and introspective journey into existential despair. The narrative facilities around Nikolai Apollonovich Stavrogin, a complex and tormented person whose internal struggles serve as a metaphor for the societal disquiet of the time. Andreyev weaves a tale of existential crisis, capturing the bleakness of human lifestyles and the search for which means in a global reputedly devoid of reason. As the tale unfolds, Stavrogin's encounters with other characters reveal a tapestry of human suffering, alienation, and the haunting shadows that linger within the human soul. Andreyev's prose is each excessive and introspective, drawing readers into a realm wherein the limits among reality and the inner workings of the mind blur. "The Dark" stands as a seminal work in Russian literature, showcasing Andreyev's mastery in exploring profound philosophical and mental topics. Through its vivid portrayal of existential angst and the haunting splendor of melancholy, the novel stays a powerful and notion-frightening exploration of the human condition, leaving an indelible mark at the panorama of literary existentialism.

Autorenporträt
Russian playwright, novelist, and short-story writer Leonid Nikolaievich Andreyev (21 August 1871 - 12 September 1919) is regarded as the founder of expressionism in Russian literature. He is recognized as one of the Silver Age literary period's most gifted and prolific writers. The components of the naturalist, symbolist, and realist literary schools are all combined in Andreyev's work. His play He Who Gets Slapped (1915) is considered his best play out of his 25 plays. Andreyev was raised in a middle-class household in Oryol, Russia, and first pursued his legal education in Saint Petersburg and Moscow. His mother claimed Finnish and Ukrainian ancestry in addition to coming from a wealthy yet ancient Polish noble family. He started working as a police-court reporter for a daily in Moscow, going about his menial work without drawing much notice to himself. He tried a few times to publish the poems he was writing at this period, but the majority of publishers turned him down. Maxim Gorky became aware of this tale and suggested Andreyev focus on his writing endeavors. After giving up his legal career, Andreyev quickly rose to fame in literature, and the two authors stayed close for a long time.
