Seven Hanged by Leonid Andreyev

4.0

A novella about seven prisoners facing their few last days before execution. It was heartwarming, honestly. I love the story telling from their trials to living inside their cells to the end of their day, the narratives and each side of stories from each prisoners. Very Russian, very realistic. The moment each came to realization about the horror of their punishments, those phrases and questions of fate, and how they all facing their end of life-- regretting or just let it be, their wandering thoughts and feelings. Lovely writing by Andreyev. Intriguing and soul-stirring much.
