The Red Laugh: Fragments of a Discovered Manuscript "Probably the most vivid piece of war realism in any language." New York TImes (4 July 1915) "Red Laughter," a disturbing war story, written with the blood of Russia." New York Times (5 September 1908) "Krasnyi smekh, Andreyev's response to the Russo-Japanese war sold 60,000 copies." " "Are you afraid?" I repeated kindly. His lips twitched, trying to frame a word, and the same instant there happened something incomprehensible, monstrous and supernatural. I felt a draught of warm air upon my right cheek that made me sway-that is all-while before my eyes, in place of the white face, there was something short, blunt and red, and out of it the blood was gushing as out of an uncorked bottle, such as is drawn on badly executed signboards. And that short, red and flowing "something" still seemed to be smiling a sort of smile, a toothless laugh-a red laugh. And I recognised it-that red laugh. I had been searching for it, and I had found it-that red laugh. Now I understood what there was in all those mutilated, torn, strange bodies. It was a red laugh. It was in the sky, it was in the sun, and soon it was going to overspread the whole earth-that red laugh!"

Leonid Andreyev’s The Red Laugh is an experimental depiction of war and its psychological effects, both on those who participate in the fighting and on those who hear of its atrocities from afar. Translated into English for the first time since 1905, it is here paired with a fresh translation of Andreyev’s earlier story “The Abyss,” which caused scandal upon its first publication. This edition provides an illuminating introduction by translator Kirsten Lodge as well as a range of background materials that help set the novel in its historical, literary, and artistic contexts.

Leonid Andreyev (1871-1919) was a Russian playwright, novelist and short story writer who is considered to be a father of Expressionism in Russian literature, and whose style combines elements of the realist, naturalist and symbolist schools. After his father's death he was thrown upon his own resources, but managed to study at both St Petersburg and Moscow Universities, graduating in Law in 1897. During this period he endured great hardship and was the victim of deep melancholia. His first writings were unsuccessful and for a time he devoted himself to painting. Later he came into touch with the Russian press as police-court reporter for a leading newspaper. His first short story Bargamot and Graska attracted the attention of Gorky who recommended that he concentrated on his literary work and he remained friends with Gorky through whom he joined the Moscow Sreda literary group. Andreyev's first collection of stories and short novels appeared in 1901, quickly selling a quarter of a million copies and making him a literary celebrity, and he went on to publish numerous stories on many subjects, including life in Russian provincial settings, court and prison incidents, and medical themes. His particular interest in psychology and psychiatry is evident in his insightful explorations into the human psyche. The Red Laugh (1904) is a prime example of this aspect of his work, being the feverish and fragmentary diary of a Russian officer during a disastrous campaign in Manchuria at the time of the Russo-Japanese War. Overcome by the horror of man's inhumanity, he is eventually driven to insanity when trying to write the story of the war, and a similar fate awaits his brother when he attempts to complete the manuscript. Regarded as Russia's equivalent to Edgar Allan Poe, translations of Andreyev's work found a ready audience in the English-speaking world, and this English translation of The Red Laugh was published by T Fisher Unwin in 1905. Includes a facsimile of the original cover and a photographic portrait of the author.

Leonid Andreyev probes the pathology of war and to tear, as from its entrails, neither glory nor glamour nor endurance, nor even crime, but the last grim secret of all - madness. Others have shown the self-conscious heroes and the self-conscious victims of war. Andreyev has depicted those in whose hearts all motive power has long died away. The outraged puppets of The Red Laugh are no longer the all-enduring, inarticulate peasants of Count Tolstoy; they are no longer human cogs in a vast and impersonal machine, but rather its torn and mutilated fragments, the mere debris and slag of war. Human nature has given way beneath the ruthless and inscrutable strain, and the gibbering of the maniac reflects the long-concealed insanity of war. Old symbols of flags and trophies are forgotten in this last hideousness of reality. Forgotten are the healing tears of self-sacrifice and the quiet pride of dulce et decorum est pro patria mori, and only the grin of fear responds to the old challenges of glory. The corpses are endowed with a new horror, and through their putrescence there echoes endlessly the sob of the shambles - the Red Laugh of War: "We looked round: behind us on the floor lay a naked, light pink body, its head thrown back. And instantly at its side there appeared a second, and a third. And the earth threw them up one after the other, and soon the orderly rows of light pink bodies filled all the rooms." Andreyev's impressionism verges again and again on the monstrous, but so long as the pathology, as opposed to the physiology, of war, has a place in fiction, his strange novel on the Manchurian Campaign demands attention. For it was not for Tolstoy, the moralist, who reasoned about it, but for Andreyev, who caught it as in a nightmare, to reveal in its last nudity the final outrage of war.

Excerpt from The Red Laugh You call our strong, Who hear the cry, And join your wretched, bloody play. A grimy rag you wave on high And madly lead them on the way. Their hearts are closed, their reason gone, Through reddened mist they cannot see; They groping, stumble Wildly on Engaged in vile absurdity. You call the game, each takes his stand, The prizes differ with your mood. Some draw a leg, an arm, a hand Of modeled wax or clever wood. Move follows move, one side must flee, With blood-drunk lust its losses tell. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
