Book Overview
The Steel Flea is a novella written by Nikolai Semyonovitch Lyeskoff and originally published in 1890. The story is set in Russia and follows the adventures of a young inventor named Ivan Ivanovich and his creation, a miniature steam-powered mechanical flea. Ivanovich is determined to showcase his invention at the upcoming fair in Nizhny Novgorod, but his plans are thwarted by a jealous rival and a series of mishaps. Despite the setbacks, Ivanovich and his flea ultimately triumph and become the talk of the fair. The novella is a humorous and satirical take on the Russian obsession with technology and progress, and is considered a classic of Russian literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
