Dive into the darkly compelling world of Fyodor Sologub’s 'The Little Demon', a classic piece of Russian literature renowned for its unflinching portrayal of societal decay. This extraordinary novel, published in 1907, features a notorious anti-hero, the provincial schoolteacher Peredonov, who epitomizes the grotesque conflict between public virtue and private vice. As he navigates through a realm of sadism, arson, and murder, the narrative invites readers to explore themes of madness and moral degradation within the context of Russia's silver age. With sharp wit and vivid imagery, 'The Little Demon' not only represents the pinnacle of the Symbolist movement but also serves as a reflection of a spiritually bankrupt society. Perfect for literary enthusiasts, this B-format paperback contains 352 pages of rich storytelling that challenges the boundaries of morality. Ronald Wilks brings this masterpiece to modern readers, making it a must-have for anyone interested in classic Russian novels and social critique. Discover the haunting and hilarious journey of Sologub's protagonist, who has forever been tied to the concept of Peredonovism within the literary canon. Experience the masterful blend of horror, comedy, and a poignant examination of human nature that continues to resonate today. Don't miss your chance to own this dark classic that marks a significant milestone in literary history and remains relevant in today’s discussions of ethics and society.Shipping Notes

Like chocolate truffles
Format: Paperback
First off, this is a review of volume 1.
I got several Batman graphic novels recently and get one out when I have a block of uninterrupted time for it. I thought that given the short-story format, that I'd leave this in the car and read one or two stories when I had a few minutes to kill. Sure - that's what I say when I get a box of candy too - just one or two at a time - make the box last for a month. LOL - I got going and finished the whole book in one sitting. The short stories are not all great, but even the weakest is worth at least three stars. Some of the others are wonderful. The most unexpected were the best: "A Black and White World" a Neil Gaiman story which features Batman and Joker in a way you've never seen them before, and "A Slaying Song Tonight" a Batman Christmas story.... who'd ever think of that?
The art is varied - which is the point isn't it. Some I liked a great deal and others didn't move me, but each reader will have different tastes. I learned about some artists with which I wasn't familiar. I'm new to comics and graphic novels, so this was a great way to gain some exposure to some legends.
A previous reviewer seemed to feel the black and white art limited the artists. I thought the short story format and the black and white art boiled the work down to it's most powerful essence. The stories didn't waste a word. The art didn't hide behind color. It was like each story was stripped down to the bare essentials.
And no comic character is more natural for a black and white treatment than the Bat. It was like a film noir movie marathon!
Volume One at the very least is a must-own part of any Batman collection. Highest recommendation!

Perfection From Start to Finish
Format: Paperback
Where do I start? Whats not to love about some the of the best writers and artists coming together in one book full of short Batman stories done in black and white? The story telling is unbelievable and the illustrations are so good you barely notice they aren't in color. This should be in every Batman fan's collection :)
