Audiobooks by Leonid Andreyev

"What did Lazarus see beyond the veil of death? In this haunting masterpiece of psychological and philosophical fiction, Leonid Andreyev conjures a vision of resurrection unlike any ever imagined. Lazarus is not a tale of triumph over death—but of what death leaves behind. Strange, unsettling, and metaphysical, this is the story of a man raised from the grave only to cast a cold, unblinking gaze back upon the living. Wherever he walks, beauty withers, joy dissolves, and the veneer of meaning slips away. Those who look into his eyes do not die—they unravel. Written in a feverish prose that borders on the ecstatic and apocalyptic, Lazarus is a hypnotic meditation on the abyss that separates existence from extinction—and the unspeakable truth that might wait on the other side. Perfect for listeners drawn to existential horror, metaphysical fiction, or the eerie brilliance of Dostoevsky, Kafka, or Poe."

Leonid Andreyev (Author), Jason Dettrey (Narrator)

[Turkish] - Kızıl Kahkaha

"Leonid Andreyev’in “Kızıl Kahkaha” adlı eseri, savaşın yıkıcı etkilerini ve insanın alışılmış düzenin yerini nasıl kaosa bıraktığını keskin bir dille ele alır. Eserde, çatışmanın sadece bedenleri değil, aklı, inancı ve değer yargılarını da altüst eden yönü anlatılır. Savaşın getirdiği sert gerçeklik, disiplinle örülü yüzeyin altında, bireylerin savunmasızlığı ve umutsuzluğu ile iç içe geçmiş; okuyucuyu, varoluşun kırılganlığını sorgulamaya davet ediyor. Bu yeni çeviri, orijinal metnin ağırlığını korurken, günümüz okuyucusuna daha anlaşılır bir dille sunuluyor. Yazar, aşırı şiddetin ortasında insanın ne kadar dayanışma, direnç ve hatta ironik bir gülümseme bulabildiğini gözler önüne seriyor. “Kızıl Kahkaha”, savaşın acımasızlığını, sıradan insanların bu zorluklar karşısındaki çaresizliğini ve tüm bunların ortaya çıkardığı trajik sonuçları irdeleyerek, okuyucuya derin bir iç hesap sunuyor. Eser, çatışmanın yarattığı kaosun ötesinde, insan doğasının kırılganlığını ve umudun kırılma noktasını sorguluyor. Andreyev, bu metinde savaşın getirdiği yıkımı, toplumsal düzenin çözülüşünü ve bireylerin kendilerini nasıl kaybettiklerini ortaya koyarken, okuyucuya, gerçek yaşamın acımasız gerçekleriyle yüzleşme cesareti aşılıyor. “Kızıl Kahkaha”, hem tarihsel bir çatışmayı hem de evrensel bir sorgulamayı anlatan, düşündürücü ve çarpıcı bir eser olarak karşımıza çıkıyor."

Lazarus

"'When Lazarus rose from the grave, after three days and nights in the mysterious thraldom of death, and returned alive to his home, it was a long time before anyone noticed the evil peculiarities in him that were later to make his very name terrible.' One of Andreyev's best-known short stories, 'Lazarus' follows the Eastern Orthodox tradition that Lazarus never smiled again, and it explores what happened to the biblical figure after his resurrection from the dead. The unsettling coldness that exudes from the man who cheated death cannot be denied by anyone who meets him. As his notoriety increases, few can resist the chance of an audience with the man who has seen beyond the realms of life, but be they urchin or Emperor, none can stand to be in the presence of Lazarus for long. 'Lazarus', first published in Russian in 1906, deals with themes of faith, mortality and the human condition. This recording is based on a translation by Thomas Seltzer."

Psychological Russian Stories Not by Dostoyevsky

"In this series we listen to short stories that are NOT by perhaps the most well-known author of this type. But the many other rich talents in the volume may have treated the subject matter a little differently, or were perhaps just overlooked in the stampede to applaud the winner, but these authors are of equal merit. Each of their works is laden with talent, has purpose, and is rich and textured in this gloried niche of literature.1 - Psychological Russian Stories Not by Dostoyevsky - An Introduction2 - Diary of a Madman by Nikolai Gogol3 - The Lie by Leonid Andreyev4 - Morphine by Mikhail Bulgakov5 - Her Lover by Maxim Gorky6 - The Signal by Vsevolod Garshin7 - The General's Will by Vera Jelihovsky8 - Dethroned by I N Potapenko9 - The Servant by S T Semyonov10 - The Revolutionist by Mikhail Petrovich Artzybashev11 - The City by Leonid Andreyev12 - In the Steppe by Maxim Gorky13 - Silence by Leonid Nikolaevich Andreyev14 - A Red Flower by Vsevolod Garshin"

The Foundations of Fiction - Russian Realism

"In this series we turn the pages of classic short stories to put together the literary building blocks of how a particular genre or theme began, how it built its foundations to become the well-loved and well-worn genre that it is today.Do authors have the same ideas at more or less the same time? Or can they sniff out an opportunity as to which way the tastes of an audience are moving. Success undoubtedly builds success and in literary terms we can more politely say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the surest way to reach a hungry readership is to build on the fortune and flair of your literary colleagues. Throughout literary history Russian writing has been both applauded and lauded as fiction of the first rank. It’s authors down the decades are many and each of them has consummate talents and knowledge that few, if any, can argue with. In this volume we present stories that explain and reveal Russian Realism, in ways that are absorbing, startling and capture a world with precise and literary verve.01 - Foundations of Fiction - Russian Realism - An Introduction2 - Diary of a Lunatic by Leo Tolstoy3 - Gooseberries by Anton Chekhov4 - An Honest Thief by Fyodor Dostoyevsky5 - Mumu by Ivan Turgenev6 - Old Fashioned Landowners by Nikolai Gogol7 - The City by Leonid Andreyev8 - Twenty-Six Men and a Girl by Maxim Gorky9 - Gentle Breathing by Ivan Bunin10 - The Signal by Vsevolod Garshin11 - The Revolutionist by Mikhail Petrovich Artzybashev12 - Dethroned by I N Potapenko13 - The General's Will by Vera Jelihovsky14 - Misery by Anton Chekhov15 - The Rendezvous by Ivan Turgenev16 - The Jew by Ivan Turgenev17 - The Bet by Anton Chekhov18 - The Murderer by Mikhail Bulgakov19 - Aloysha the Pot by Leo Tolstoy20 - The Peasant Marey by Fyodor Dostoyevsky21 - Her Lover by Maxim Gorky22 - About Love by Anton Chekhov23 - The District Doctor by Ivan Turgenev24 - Morphine by Mikhail Bulgakov25 - Silence by Leonid Andreyev"

Lazarus

"In the ancient lands of Judea, where the boundary between life and death is both sacred and feared, one man crosses that divide and returns irrevocably changed. Lazarus, raised from the grave by the hand of Christ, emerges not as the man he once was but as a shadow of his former self, haunted by the specter of death. The miracle of Lazarus's resurrection reverberates across the land, drawing pilgrims and skeptics alike. Yet, as Lazarus walks among the living, he carries with him an unsettling aura that instills dread and despair in all who encounter him. His hollow eyes reflect the abyss he has glimpsed, and his presence becomes a grim reminder of mortality. Leonid Andreyev’s 'Lazarus' is a profound exploration of the human condition, delving into themes of life, death, and the unknowable mysteries that lie beyond. Through poetic prose and existential depth, Andreyev crafts a tale that challenges the reader to ponder the essence of existence and the cost of transcending the natural order. As the shadows of the past linger and the world grapples with the unfathomable, 'Lazarus' invites you to contemplate the paradox of life reborn and the darkness that dwells within us all. Prepare to be captivated by a narrative that resonates with timeless questions and haunts long after the final page is turned."
