Nikolay Leskov (1831-1895). Leskov's works are available in Penguin
Classics in Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk and Other Stories and Russian
Short Stories from Pushkin to Buida.
The story of a passionate young woman who escapes her stifling
marriage through adultery and murder, Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk is
now the basis for an acclaimed new film starring Florence Pugh
Nikolai Leskov is one of the most unique voices of
nineteenth-century Russia, with a fascination for idiosyncratic
characters, lurid crimes, comic absurdity, spirituality and the joy
of pure story. This volume contains five of his greatest short
tales, including the matchless masterpiece Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk.

Leskov's stories of Russian life are explosions of imagination.
Peopled by outsized characters including serfs, princes, Gypsy
girls, horse dealers, nomadic Tartars and garrulous storytellers,
Leskov's writing exuberantly fables the national character of his
age. For the first time, Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky's
translation brings Leskov's original storytelling and irresistible
voice to life.
