Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'The Sentry and Other Stories' is an evocative collection of short fiction from the pen of the esteemed Russian author Nikolai Leskov. Renowned for his vivid prose and mastery of the 'skaz' narrative style, Leskov explores the intricate moral fabric of 19th-century Russian society. The title story, 'The Sentry,' presents a gripping account of a soldier's internal conflict between military regulations and his own conscience, illustrating the author's recurring fascination with personal integrity in the face of bureaucratic rigidity. The tales included in this volume highlight Leskov's unique ability to weave together elements of folklore, realism, and social commentary. From poignant character studies to biting satires of imperial life, the collection provides a panoramic view of the Russian experience, ranging from the struggles of the common people to the complexities of the clerical and aristocratic classes. Often praised for his deep empathy and keen observation, Leskov's work remains a vital part of the literary canon. 'The Sentry and Other Stories' offers readers an immersive journey into the spiritual and cultural landscape of a bygone era, capturing the enduring tensions between individual conscience and institutional authority.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

The first of Leskov's works to be published in the UK, followed by 'Cathedral Folk' in 1924 (also John Lane The Bodley Head) and 'The Enchanted Wanderer' in 1927 (Jarrolds). The Sentry was published by Alfred A. Knopf in 1923 (A year later than the UK edition). The Introduction is by Edward Garnett. The composer Dmitri Shostakovich composed 'Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk', Op. 29 an opera in four acts and nine scenes based on Lyeskov's short story 'Lady Macbeth of the Mzinsk District'. The libretto was jointly written by Alexander Preis and the composer. The opera caused huge controversy as Stalin attended Shostakovich's wildly popular avant-garde opera and hated it. Days later, an infamous, unsigned article which appeared in the state newspaper Pravda titled "Muddle Instead of Music." It accused him of playing a "game of clever ingenuity" and warned that if he didn't change, "the game could end very badly." Shostakovich slept with a packed suitcase by the door, expecting the secret police to arrest him. He responded with his Symphony No. 5, famously subtitled 'A Soviet artist's creative reply to just criticism.'. Marcia Lane Foster provides the illustration for the wrapper and the header for the first story. 'Nikolai Leskov was a Russian novelist, short-story writer, playwright, and journalist, who also wrote under the pseudonym M. Stebnitsky. Praised for his unique writing style and innovative experiments in form, and held in high esteem by Leo Tolstoy, Anton Chekhov and Maxim Gorky among others, Leskov is credited with creating a comprehensive picture of contemporary Russian society using mostly short literary forms. His major works include 'Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk' (1865); 'The Cathedral Folk' (1872); 'The Enchanted Wanderer' (1873); and 'The Tale of Cross-eyed Lefty from Tula' and the 'Steel Flea' (1881)'.
