About this book
In the backdrop of late 19th-century Russia, "Der kleine Dämon" by Fyodor Sologub delves into the psyche of Peredonoff, a disillusioned schoolteacher grappling with the oppressive social norms of his provincial existence. As he confronts the specters of conformity and desire, Sologub intricately weaves themes of isolation and existential dread, capturing the essence of a man torn between societal expectations and personal yearnings. This novel uniquely employs surreal imagery and dark humor to reflect the absurdities of life, making it a compelling read for students, literary enthusiasts, and historians alike. Discover the haunting beauty of Sologub's prose, where the mundane collides with the grotesque, inviting readers to reflect on the complexities of human nature.
