	Nikolai Leskov Biography and Summary
		Author of a few tendentious novels and a vast number of newspaper articles, reviews, government reports, and letters, Nikolai Semenovich Leskov is more admired and discussed a century after his death than he was in his own time.
		Nikolai Semyonovich Leskov ((Russian: Николай Семёнович Лесков, 16 February, 1831- 5 March, 1895) was a Russian journalist, novelist and short story writer.
		In the following excerpt, Ansberg discusses Leskov's trademark form, the frame story or skaz, and asserts that the author uses it for both aesthetic and practical purposes: to portray intimately subjective points of view and to disguise his sometimes dangerous opinions.

		Leskov (1831-95) wrote these immensely entertaining stories between 1876 and 1890 and in every case he claimed they were real-life events; the second of them purports to be an academic article recounting a curious scandal in the Province of Orel.
		Leskov spent much of his life swimming against the current: expressing enlightened liberal views while more fashionable writers were hurling immoderate radical abuse at the authorities and at their own opponents, and sympathetically and dispassionately portraying Christian believers when popular intellectual attitudes were militantly agnostic and anti-clerical.
		Leskov's informative, balanced and entertaining study was written to recall Russian church and society to a sense of proportion.

		Leskov’s childhood in Orel Province in southern central Russia familiarised him with a broad spectrum of Russian society.
		Leskov’s concerns were always with the moral regeneration of his fellow countrymen, and his search for moral truth led him away from Orthodoxy towards an interest in Protestantism and a brief flirtation with Tolstoyanism.
		Between 1865-73 Leskov’s writing falls predominantly into three categories: firstly, novels, anti-nihilist and others; secondly stories of life in the Russian provinces; and, thirdly, works that argue for a revitalisation of the Russian Church through recognition and adoption of the key qualities of Russian Orthodoxy.

		Leskov remarked to his contemporary Anatolii Faresov, "People talk about my 'language, ' about its colorfulness and its national traits; about the richness of my plots, about my condensed way of writing, about 'similarity' and so on, but they do not notice the most important thing".
		It is this "most important thing", Leskov's consistent thematic adherence to an "organic" philosophical model, that Sperrle traces and elaborates here.
		She examines Leskov's vexed relation to Tolstoyan ideas and shows how the notion of heresy -- as a questioning rather than rejection of authority -- is a crucial element in his worldview and his work.

	Nikolai Leskov Biography / Profile
		Although his reputation has never rivaled those of other great Russian masters from his age, the stories and short novels of Nikolai Semyonovich Leskov (leh-SKOF) have retained their appeal because of the distinctive and almost inimitable blend of social realism, satire, and fantasy that in different measures may be found in his various works.
		His father, Semyon Dmitriyevich Leskov, was a landowner of modest means who had purchased an estate in Oryol province, south of Moscow; his mother was from the lesser nobility.
