Judas Iscariot
Leonid Andreyev is widely considered one of the most talented writers in Russian literature. In his prose, he reflected the influence of A. Chekhov's realism, the fascination with psychological paradoxes of F. Dostoevsky, and a constant obsession with the insignificance of life and the inevitability of death, in the manner of L. Tolstoy. In " Judas Iscariot," Leonid Andreyev leads us to reflect on the true role of Judas in the Passion of Christ and suggests a possible interpretation: that the betrayal perpetrated by Judas was a kind of destiny to which he could not resist. It will be up to the reader to answer this and other questions, or perhaps, be left even more in doubt after reading this small masterpiece by Leonid Andreyev.
The Seven Who Were Hanged and Other Stories
Leonid Andreiev is widely regarded as one of the most talented writers in Russian literature. In his prose, he reflected the influence of A. Chekhov's realism, the fascination with F.

The work masterfully and simply delves into each of the tragedies of seven condemned to death, leading the reader unrelentingly to a revelation, a state of illumination that only the best works of art offer.

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.

Satan's Diary
Satan's Diary is a novel by Leonid Andreyev. Andreyev was a Russian playwright and author known for his style of literary expressionism. Excerpt: "I can also tell you but little that you would understand of how I assumed the human form, with which I began my earthly life ten days ago. First of all, forget about your favorite, hairy, horny, winged devils, who breathe fire, transform fragments of earthenware into gold and change old men into fascinating youths, and having done all this and prattled much nonsense, they disappear suddenly through a wall. Remember: when we want to visit your earth we must always become human. Why this is so you will learn after your death. Meanwhile remember: I am a human being now like yourself. There is not the foul smell of a goat about me but the fragrance of perfume, and you need not fear to shake My hand lest I may scratch you with my nails: I manicure them just as you do."
