He died at the early age of 42 as the result of a brain-stroke. His mother, a woman of much refinement and culture, was of Polish ancestry. He was a poor scholar and loved to play hookey, preferring the great outdoors to the crowded class-room. His marks were very poor as the result. But he was a voracious reader of literature. His latter years in high school (gymnasium) were influenced by Tolstoys works on non-resistance, by Schopenhauer, and by the first works of Maxim Gorki.

In his teens Leonid Andreyev made three unsuccessful attempts at suicide. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
