By LEONIDAS ANDREIYEFF

Translated from the Russian by John Cournos


'Cloth, 75 Cents net. Postage, 7 Cents'


A remarkable analysis of mental subtleties as experienced by a man who is uncertain as to whether or not he is insane. A story that is Poe-like in its intensity and full of grim humor.

One of the most interesting literary studies of crime since Dostoiefifsky's "Crime and Punishment."—Chicago Evening Post.

A grim and powerful study by that marvelous Russian, Leonidas Andreiyeff.—The Smart Set.

Leonidas Andreiyeflf is a writer who bites deep into life. In him Slavic talent for introspection is remarkably developed. Poetic, powerfully imaginative, master of stark simplicity, he has written stories stamped with the seal of genius. Andreiyeff is an O. Henry, plus the divine fire,— Boston Daily Advertiser.
