Home / The Collected Stories
Leonid Andreyev (1871–1919) was a Russian author and playwright, renowned for his psychologically intense and existentially driven works. A key figure in Russian literature during the early 20th century, Andreyev was associated with the Symbolist and Expressionist movements. His stories and plays, such as The Red Laugh and He Who Gets Slapped, often explore themes of human suffering, morality, and the absurdity of life. Andreyev’s vivid and often dark prose captured the turbulence of his era, reflecting the societal and spiritual crises of pre-revolutionary Russia. His works remain influential in exploring the depths of the human psyche.
