His work is closer to the oral traditions of narrative than that of his contemporaries, and served as the inspiration for Walter Benjamins great essay "The Storyteller," in which Benjamin contrasts the plotty machinations of the modern novel with the strange, melancholy, but also worldly-wise yarns of an older, slower era that Leskov remained in touch with. The title story is a tale of illicit love and multiple murder that could easily find its way into a Scottish ballad and did go on to become the most popular of Dmitri Shostakovichs operas. The other stories, all but one newly translated, present the most focused and finely rendered collection of this indispensable writer currently available in English.
