Olesha, Yuri

Olesha, Yuri,1899 - 1960年,俄罗斯小说家和dramatist. In his novelEnvy(1927; tr. 1936) and in his other writing, Olesha focused on the conflict between the demands of an industrialized world and human spiritual needs. He wrote in a vivid, highly metaphoric style distinctly different from orthodox Soviet socialist realism.
