brynhammond's review
4.0
The two last stories -- both novellas -- were the strongest: an enigmatic telling of Judas, and yet another of Andreyev's psychological prison tales.
I'll have to get hold of these admired translations by his writer-granddaughter of his 'best work': [b:Visions: Stories and Photographs|2672218|Visions Stories and Photographs|Leonid Andreyev|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1232679343s/2672218.jpg|2697500]. So far I've read him in early 20thC translations, and I can't say I'm unhappy with them because his extraordinary writing manages to shine through. Even when his actual story concepts are fairly indifferent, as in a few of these.
