Autorenporträt

Nikolai Leskov (1831-1895) was one of Russia's greatest writers. Anton Chekhov considered him his "teacher," and Tolstoy hailed his courageous, anti-nihilist writing. Among his best-known works is Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk. Ian Dreiblatt translated Leo Tolstoy's Death of Ivan Ilych for the Art of the Novella series.
