Collected Works

This collection brings together nine prose works by Leonid Andreyev. Stories of childhood and an abandoned dog stand alongside accounts of war, betrayal and the fear of death. Compassion, cruelty and loneliness connect lives that otherwise seem far apart. Andreyev explores the search for meaning when faith and familiar ideas of justice are put to the test. Moving from everyday encounters to psychological and philosophical fiction, the collection reveals the range of his writing and the difficult choices faced by his characters.
