About this ebook
Leonid Andreyev’s The Red Laugh is an experimental depiction of war and its psychological effects, both on those who participate in the fighting and on those who hear of its atrocities from afar. Translated into English for the first time since 1905, it is here paired with a fresh translation of Andreyev’s earlier story “The Abyss,” which caused scandal upon its first publication. This edition provides an illuminating introduction by translator Kirsten Lodge as well as a range of background materials that help set the novel in its historical, literary, and artistic contexts.

Kirsten Lodge is Associate Professor of Humanities and English at Midwestern State University. Her previous books include Broadview editions of Zamyatin’s We, Dostoevsky’s Notes from the Underground, and Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich.
