About this book
The Steel Flea is the celebrated tale by Nikolai Leskov (1831-1895), the Russian master whom Tolstoy and Chekhov ranked among the very greatest of their nation's writers. In this skaz, told in the voice of a folk narrator, Tula gunsmiths out-craft the English by shoeing a tiny mechanical flea, a comic and bitter parable of Russian genius wasted by its rulers. Leskov's ear for living speech made him the most distinctively Russian of the great prose writers.
