The Little Angel, and Other Stories by Leonid Andreyev Pdf

A remarkable collection of short expressionist stories by Russian playwright, novelist, and short-story writer, Leonid Nikolaievich Andreyev, who was considered to be the father of Expressionism in Russian literature. Traces of compassion, beauty, and sympathetic insight are encountered on every page side by side with barbarity and crudeness, the reason being that Andreyev portrays life without hiding, without neglecting any part of it. The Little Angel, and other stories (1916) was of one of his collections that were extensively translated into book form. The plots in these stories are straightforward, the characters are isolated, and the endings are harsh and profound in their sadness. Because of the cumulative descriptions of the strange and the dreadful, Andreyev has been called the Russian Edgar Allan Poe. During the 1914-1929 period, America was eager for anything similar to Edgar Allan Poe. As Poe's Russian equivalent, translations of Andreyev's work found a ready audience in the English-speaking world. This collection contains the following short stories: The Little Angel At the Roadside Station Snapper The Lie An Original Petka at the Bungalow Silence Laughter The Friend In the Basement The City The Marseillaise The Tocsin Bargamot and Garaska Stepping-stones The Spy

The Little Angel and Other Stories by Leonid Nikolayevich Andreyev Pdf

Leonid Nikolayevich Andreyev's 'The Little Angel and Other Stories' stands as a compelling mosaic of human conditions, encapsulated in a series of narratives that are as haunting as they are profound. Penned in the evocative and symbolic style characteristic of Russian literature in the early 20th century, the anthology delves into the depths of familial dysfunction, societal marginalization, and personal despair. Notably, the chilling ambience of the first story mirrors the frigid societal and familial landscapes, engendering an emotive reading experience that penetrates the reader's consciousness with its stark depiction of the abject conditions of the boy and his family, thus indicative of Andreyev's masterful combination of psychological insight with novelistic detail. In the broader contours of literary history, Andreyev is often hailed as a formidable figure in Russian Symbolism and a precursor to the existential angst that would come to define much of 20th-century literature. The personal trials that Andreyev encountered, including his own battle with mental illness and his profound dissatisfaction with social inequities, filter through his storytelling, offering an intimate, unflinching examination of life's darker facets. His lens captures the dissonance between the harshness of the Russian climate and the internal chaos that unrelenting hardship can wreak. 'The Little Angel and Other Stories' is a must-read for aficionados of Russian literature and for those who seek to understand the human condition through the nuanced and intricate fabric of narrative fiction. Andreyev's collection is especially recommended for readers drawn to the psychological and societal introspection akin to the works of Dostoevsky and Tolstoy, providing a poignant reflection on the complexities of the human psyche and its resilience, or often, its capitulation, in the face of relentless adversity.

The Angel of Rome by Jess Walter Pdf

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Ruins and The Cold Millions comes a stunning collection about those moments when everything changes—for the better, for the worse, for the outrageous—as a diverse cast of characters bounces from Italy to Idaho, questioning their roles in life and finding inspiration in the unlikeliest places. We all live like we’re famous now, curating our social media presences, performing our identities, withholding those parts of ourselves we don’t want others to see. In this riveting collection of stories from acclaimed author Jess Walter, a teenage girl tries to live up to the image of her beautiful, missing mother. An elderly couple confronts the fiction writer eavesdropping on their conversation. A son must repeatedly come out to his senile father while looking for a place to care for the old man. A famous actor in recovery has a one-night stand with the world's most surprising film critic. And in the romantic title story, a shy twenty-one-year-old studying Latin in Rome during “the year of my reinvention” finds himself face-to-face with the Italian actress of his adolescent dreams. Funny, poignant, and redemptive, this collection of short fiction offers a dazzling range of voices, backdrops, and situations. With his signature wit and bighearted approach to the darkest parts of humanity, Walter tackles the modern condition with a timeless touch, once again “solidifying his place in the contemporary canon as one of our most gifted builders of fictional worlds” (Esquire).
