The Murderess

I was introduced to Papadiamantis by my Greek Professor, who called him "the Dostoevsky of Greece." Though a lot of his earlier work is more influenced by French Romanticism, his later work (like The Murderess) is clearly more of a Russian-influenced animal.
The Murderess is like a mini version of Crime and Punishment, but rural-Greek style from a woman's perspective. Substitute Raskolnikov with a 60+ year-old Greek grandmother and you'll be close to having an impression of this little novella.

Raskolnikov with a 60+ year-old rural Greek grandmother... Hmm. Intriguing.
