The book about the famous and desperately controversial Silver Age writer Leonid Andreev was written by playwright and art critic Natalya Skorokhod based on a thoughtful study of the hero’s works, his epistolary heritage, and the memories of his contemporaries. The author managed to talentedly and in a new way recreate the drama of the life of a man who felt the contradictions of his turning point as his own illness. The history of this disease, reflected in Andreev’s books, is instructive and at the same time modern - undoubtedly, everyone who is interested in Russian literature will read it with interest. sign of information products 16+
