THE LOVE OF A SCENE-PAINTER

BY “SKITALITZ”

ilothelove

“Skitalitz,” meaning “wanderer,” is the nom de plume of a very talented young author by the name of A. Petrov. He is about 36 years old and a native of Nijni-Novgorod. Students of Russian literature have generally thought “Skitalitz” to be a nom de plume of Leonid Andreiev, but that is incorrect. Nearly all his works have been published by the “Znaniye” Company, which is backed by Gorki, and which until lately was the standard of Russian literature. “Skitalitz” writes poetry as well as prose. His works have been translated into the chief European languages, English included.
