Leonid Andreïev fut un dramaturge et nouvelliste russe de premier plan qui a dirigé le mouvement expressionniste dans la littérature nationale.

Andreïev a rapidement accédé à la célébrité littéraire, reconnu pour ses premiers récits puis pour ses drames symbolistes. Son écriture se caractérise par une excentricité croissante qui a laissé une marque distinctive dans les lettres russes.
