The Seven Who Were Hanged
A Story
By Leonid Andreyev
Authorized Translation from The Russian By Herman Bernstein.
The Seven Who Were Hanged is a 1908 short story by Russian author Leonid Andreyev. The novel was adapted for film in 1920.
Herman Bernstein translated the novel from Russian to English in 1909. Another translation by Anthony Briggs, entitled Seven Hanged, was published in 2016.
It is believed that the assassins of Archduke Franz Ferdinand were influenced to assassinate Ferdinand based on the contents of this short story.
I am very glad that The Story of the Seven Who Were Hanged will be read in English. The misfortune of us all is that we know so little, even nothing, about one another--neither about the soul, nor the life, the sufferings, the habits, the inclinations, the aspirations of one another. Literature, which I have the honor to serve, is dear to me just because the noblest task it sets before itself is that of wiping out boundaries and distances.
