Leonid Andrejev was een vooraanstaand Russisch toneelschrijver en korteverhalenschrijver die de expressionistische beweging in de nationale literatuur aanvoerde. Actief tussen revolutionaire periodes, kreeg zijn werk aanzienlijke aandacht na ontdekking door Maxim Gorki. Andrejev steeg snel naar literaire roem, erkend voor zijn vroege verhalen en later voor zijn symbolistische drama's. Zijn schrijven wordt gekenmerkt door een groeiende excentriciteit die een duidelijke stempel drukte op de Russische literatuur.
