Günter Dalitz Orden de los libros (cronológico)

El horrible crimen perpetrado en Moscú a finales de1869 siguiendo órdenes del nihilista Necháyev, seguidor de Bakunin, fue la fuente de inspiración que sirvió a Fiódor Dostoyevski (1821-1881) para construir la trama argumental y perfilar los caracteres de los principales personajes de “Los demonios”. Entre ellos destaca con fuerza Nikolai Stavrogin, figura atormentada que casi un siglo después habría de fascinar a Albert Camus y que introduce en la novela una dimensión teológica y metafísica que la lleva mucho más allá de la mera reconstrucción de la historia o de la diatriba política, propiciando el salto cualitativo que hace de esta obra sin duda una las más destacadas del gran autor ruso. source: https://www.alianzaeditorial.es/libro.php?id=2917473&id_col=100500&id_subcol=100501

Five great stories from one of the most quintessentially Russian of writers, Nikolai Leskov. In the best of Leskov's stories, as in almost no others apart from those of Gogol, we can hear the voice of nineteenth-century Russia. An outsider by birth and instinct, Leskov is one of the most undeservedly neglected figures in Russian literature. He combined a profoundly religious spirit with a fascination for crime, an occasionally lurid imagination and a great love for the Russian vernacular. This volume includes five of his greatest stories, including the masterful Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk. Nikolai Semyonovich Leskov was born in 1831 in Gorokhovo, Oryol Province and was orphaned early. In 1860 he became a journalist and moved to Petersburg where he published his first story. He subsequently wrote a number of folk legends and Christmas tales, along with a few anti-nihilistic novels which resulted in isolation from the literary circles of his day. He died in 1895. David McDuff is a translator of Russian and Nordic literature.
