The Ghost at the Engineers' Castle

Nikolai Semyonovich Leskov (1831–1895) is an outstanding Russian writer and a rare connoisseur of everyday life and the language of the people. “The most striking and original thing about Leskov is the Russian language,” noted the famous literary scholar and critic D. P. Svyatopolk-Mirsky. “...All forms of professional or class language, all kinds of slang—everything like that can be found on his pages.”

Audiobook versions of selected stories and novellas by N. S. Leskov are offered to listeners. The collection includes new recordings that have not been published until now. At the center of the author’s works are unusual people and their astonishing stories. The story “A Ghost in an Engineering Castle” (with the subtitle “From Cadet Memories”) is an instructive tale with secrets and ghosts.
