A blackly comic Russian classic about a schoolteacher’s descent into sadism, arson, and murderMad, lascivious, sadistic, and ridiculous, the provincial schoolteacher Peredonov torments his students and has hallucinatory fantasies about acts of savagery and degradation, yet to everyone else he is an upstanding member of society. This grotesque mirror of a spiritually bankrupt society is arguably the finest Russian novel to have come out of the Symbolist movement.For more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
