A classic work that connects the past and the future in Russia's Silver Age, Lu Xun, Tolstoy, Gorky and other great writers unanimously praised it; it was selected into the top 30 Russian novels in France's "Ideal Library"; it was recommended in the classic book list of Harold Bloom's "Western Canon"; influenced by Andreev, Lu Xun wrote the famous "Medicine".
"Seven Hanged Men" is a collection of novels by Russian writer Andreev. It selects 11 representative works of the author from different creative periods, including the famous "Red Smile" and "Seven Hanged Men". Andreev's novels are a mixture of various artistic styles, and his writing strokes go deep into the vast social reality. In the cold descriptions of the characters' inner hearts and external environments, they contain profound philosophy and flow with delicate poetry. Most of the characters portrayed by Andreev are marginalized people and outliers of society, making the stories rare and bizarre. His narrative style is unique among Russian writers. It is consistently compact, delicate, and confusing, with thick writing and ink that directly points to people's hearts. The nightmare of life, the absurdity of life, the loneliness of nature, and the many "damn problems" entangled in his thoughts prompted Andreev to always explore the meaning in meaninglessness.
