    <![CDATA[Written over the course of Leskov&#8217;s career, each story in <strong>The Enchanted Wanderer</strong> elucidates the very essence of the human condition; themes of love, despair, loneliness, and revenge are explored against the backdrop of nineteenth-century working-class Russia. Leskov deftly layers social satire and subtle criticism atop myth and fable, resulting in a richly entertaining collection.]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;In this powerful and brutal short story, Leskov demonstrates the enduring truth of the Shakespearean archetype joltingly displaced to the heartland of Russia. Chastened and stifled by her marriage of convenience to a man twice her age, the young Katerina Lvovna goes yawning about the house, missing the barefoot freedom of her childhood, until she meets the feckless steward Sergei Filipych. Sergei proceeds to seduce Katerina, as he has done half the women in the town, not realizing that her passion, once freed, will attach to him so fiercely that Katerina will do anything to keep hold of him. Journalist and prose writer Nikolai Leskov is known for his powerful characterizations and the quintessentially Russian atmosphere of his stories.&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[Based on a true story of an early Russian missionary bishop's trip to the far reaches of Eastern Siberia, Nicolai Leskov (1831-1895), the master of the Russian short story, delights the reader with a tale of adventure and substance. Leskov, the Russian equivalent of the American Mark Twain, is a powerful storyteller, utilizing language and acute characterizations to weave an unforgettable tale. This fresh, readable, yet critical translation by Michael Prokurat, with valuable notes and commentary, is an eminently entertaining and engaging story. The snowstorm scene is one of the greatest in Russian literature. Behind the adventure, however, Leskov delivers a profound message about human values, while constructing a model for Christian missiology. The purpose behind the bishop's journey is to teach and baptize. During the process he learns through example and suffering that baptism without preparation is ritual devoid of content, that in indigenous peoples of all cultures there is a striking dignity, as well as established codes of moral behavior that must be recognized and built upon as a foundation for all Christian conversion.]]>

    <![CDATA[A Editorial Hespéria lança a sua primeira obra, na Reitoria da Universidade de Lisboa. Fundada em Outubro de 2006, encontra-se virada para a ficção de qualidade, ensaio, biografias e memórias, com especial ênfase na área dos direitos humanos. Aposta, sobretudo, no interesse dos títulos, na qualidade das traduções – sempre a partir do original – e na minúcia das revisões. Lady Macbeth de Mtsensk, primeiro número da colecção Clássicos Modernos, é considerado um dos grandes clássicos da literatura universal, a par de Anna Karenina ou de Madame Bovary. Trata-se da história de Katerina Lhvóvna, uma jovem russa que, ao apaixonar-se pelo capataz do marido, se transforma subitamente de mulher submissa em assassina cruel.<br/><br/>Dos grandes escritores russos, Nikolai Leskov (1831-1895) é o único cuja obra ainda é largamente desconhecida fora da Rússia. Nem mesmo a declaração abonatória de Máximo Gorki, segundo a qual «Leskov é o escritor mais profunda-mente enraizado no povo e isento de quaisquer influências estrangeiras», logrou reabilitá-lo após a Revolução Russa, pelo que só em décadas recentes se dá o reconhecimento tardio da sua obra. O interesse pela obra de Leskov manteve-se vivo, em parte, graças à ópera de Dmitrii Chostakóvitch, “Lady Macbeth do Distrito de Mtsensk”, estreada e em 1934, proibida em 1936 e revista como Katerina Izmáilova, em 1963. Outras adaptações incluem o filme “Sibirska Ledi Magbet” («Lady Macbeth da Sibéria»), do polaco Andrej Wajda, realizado em 1962.]]>
