English The Seven Who Were Hanged Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seven_Who_Were_Hanged Translation of: Rasskaz o semi poveshennykh Produced by Eric Eldred, and David Widger "The Seven Who Were Hanged" by Leonid Andreyev is a poignant story written during the early 20th century. This fiction work explores the psychological depths and moral complexities surrounding capital punishment, focusing on seven individuals who face execution. Through their trials, Andreyev delves into themes of justice, suffering, and the human condition, drawing comparisons between the condemned and the societal structures that condemn them. At the start of the story, we are introduced to a government official, the Minister, who learns of a planned assassination attempt against him. While he tries to come to terms with the imminent threat, other threads of narrative introduce the seven condemned individuals, each with their own backgrounds and motivations. Among these are revolutionaries and a peasant who committed murder, and we gain insights into their thoughts, fears, and relationships. The opening chapters set the stage for a profound critique of societal violence and personal despair, posing important questions regarding morality and the nature of justice as the characters prepare for the inevitability of their fates.
