Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District Book by Nikolai Leskov (Farsi)

Description

Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District by Nikolai Leskov is one of 19th-century Russian literature’s most acclaimed novellas, first published in 1864–1865. Leskov considered it a “sketch” of a character type rather than a conventional story—a concise, unsentimental study exposing the psychological, social, and moral pressures of provincial Russia. Set in a rigid, patriarchal mercantile society, the novella follows Katerina Lvovna Izmailova, trapped in a loveless, oppressive marriage. Leskov vividly depicts her gradual alienation, loneliness, and rebellion, showing how a single disruption in her constrained world propels her toward desire, defiance, and moral transgression. This psychologically intense and socially critical work remains a landmark of Russian realism.
