The Darkness Hours
A selection of creative writings by Vladimir Korolenko, translated by Colin Bearne. A contemporary of Chekhov, Tolstoi and Dostoevsky amongst others, Korolenko deserves greater attention than he is given, revealing, as he does, the battle between dark ignorance and the light of truth and justice.
The Poetics of Korolenko's Fiction
Vladimir Galaktionovich Korolenko (1853-1921) reigned high in popularity in pre-revolutionary Russia as a writer of short fiction until his contemporary, Anton Chekhov, out-ranked him in the 1880s. This study examines Korolenko's fiction and highlights his contribution to short story writing. His talents synchronized descriptions of nature, landscape and surroundings with mood and action. He uncovered the guiding moral strength in heroes, notwithstanding their social standing. Although Korolenko continued classic Russian literary traditions, he was an original thinker motivated to write by his own compassion and search for justice for those who were defenseless.
The Vagrant and Other Tales
Korolenko's name is new to American Readers, but in Russia he stands at the head of the younger generation of writers. Like all of the literary children ol Gogol, he is a realist; he paints with photographic distinctness, but at the same time he is an artist and selects only the details that are relevant. His style is crisp and nervous. He excels in placing before the eye, by a few shrewd touches, a whole landscape. It sends the blood to the heart with a quick rush, and thus the author sways the reader with a power that is irresistible. One knows that he writes from his heart, that he is genuine. -The Book Buyer: A Monthly Review of American and Foreign Literature [1887] Vladimir Korolenko, ...
