I am thrilled that The Story of the Seven Who Were Hanged is now available in English. It highlights a profound truth our collective misfortune lies in the ignorance we hold about one another—our souls, lives, struggles, habits, inclinations, and aspirations. Literature, which I am privileged to champion, is precious to me because its noblest endeavor is to dissolve the barriers that separate us. -- Leonid Andreyev, in a letter to Herman BernsteinCopyright Fiction Classics Art Social Sciences
