About this ebook

When the King Loses His Head, and other stories is Leonid Andreyev's story of the French Revolution. Considered the father of Expressionism in Russian literature, Leonid Andreyev is regarded as one of the most talented and prolific representatives of the Silver Age period. His work was extensively translated in book form. To live through four different phases of Russian history was the fate of Andreyev. Each of these phases has contributed to the shaping of his art. Because of the cumulative portrayals of the weird and the horrible, Andreyev has been called the Russian Edgar Allan Poe. During the 1914-1929 period, America was eager for anything similar to Edgar Allan Poe. As Poe's Russian equivalent, translations of Andreyev's work found a ready audience in the English-speaking world.
