images of merchants

[Alexei Kokin]

I'd recommend other Leskov stories besides _Lady
Macbeth_. You might browse a collection of his short
stories to see which are relevant. Don't miss
_Chertogon_ and _Zheleznaya Volya_, a caricature of a
German trying to do business in Russia.

Melnikov-Pechersky wrote a lot on Old Believer
merchants, both in his novels and short stories. You
could also check out Mamin-Sibiryak's short stories
and his best-known novel, _Privalovskie Milliony_.

Best,

Alexei
