Leonid Andreyev

Leonid Andreyev (1871-1919) wrote a collection of tales in Seven Who Hanged. It is the story from sentence to execution of five condemned Russian terrorists and two murderers. As the revolutionists await their death, it is seen that each of them is a hero whose courage and purity of soul remain constant to the end. These haunting tales were written by one of Russia's most popular turn-of-the-century prose writers. Considered artistically and philosophically revolutionary, the author contemplates such themes as chaos, madness, destruction, and death. The collection includes "The Seven Who Were Hanged," which focuses on the agonizing ordeal of young terrorists facing execution.
