Olesha, Yuri

0.03 sec.

Olesha, Yuri, 1899–1960, Russian novelist and dramatist. In his novel Envy (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.
