Leonid Andreyev (born August 21 [August 9, Old Style], 1871, Oryol, Russia—died September 12, 1919, Kuokkala, Finland) was a novelist whose best work has a place in Russian literature for its evocation of a mood of despair and absolute pessimism. At the age of 20 Andreyev entered St. Petersburg University but lived restlessly for some time.
