What did Lazarus see beyond the veil of death? In this haunting masterpiece of psychological and philosophical fiction, Leonid Andreyev conjures a vision of resurrection unlike any ever imagined.

The unsettling coldness that exudes from the man who cheated death cannot be denied by anyone who meets him.
