Lazarus and the Gentleman from San Francisco

Synopsis of Lazarus and the Gentleman from San Francisco

«Lazarus and the Gentleman from San Francisco» is the collection of short stories by Leonid Andreyev and Ivan Bunin published by Fredonia Books (NL) in paperback.

The volume brings together two stories from Slavic literature that avoid the clichés of Russian narrative of their time: no explicit sex, no raw misery, no gloomy reflections. They are sad stories, but their melancholy is comforting, with the catharsis of Greek tragedy that purifies the reader.

The book has 60 pages, is written in English, and was published by Fredonia Books (NL) in 2003.

For readers of literary fiction and Slavic narrative seeking short stories with emotional weight.
