Editorial Review Book Description Here we have Tolstoi --- "superhumanly wise, "Chekov --- "sagely modest,"Korolenko --- "calm and of an extraordinary simplicity," Kotsubinsky --- " at home in the ideal world of beauty and good,"Garin Mikhailovsky --- " gifted, inexhaustibly cheerful,"Prishvin, who wrote about the Earth, our great Mother." Gorky's unfailing interest in creative personalities, his keen observation, his ability to capture every characteristic word, gesture, intonation, his profound knowledge of the times producing these personalities, enables him to penetrate the mysteries of such complex and self contradictory individuals as Tolstoi, Chekov, Korolenko, and many others. And in his contacts with his great contemporaries new and wonderful features of the author of these portraits --- Alexei Maximovich Gorky --- are unconsciously displayed. |

Editorial Review Book Description These plays, written in the years leading up to the Bolshevik revolution, are vivid portraits of the old bourgeois society of Russia in a state of dissolution, and the inevitable drift into the tragic and astonishing events of 1917. Chekhov described Maxim Gorky (1868â1936) as, "the first in Russia to have expressed contempt and loathing for the bourgeoisie and he has done it at the precise moment when Russia is ready for protest." |

Editorial Review Book Description Maxim Gorky (1868-1936) was one of the greatest Russian writers.He inherited the best traditions of 19th century classical Russian literature and was at the same time the creator of a new art, socialist realism; he laid the foundations of the young Soviet Literature.Gorky was born "Aleksey Maksimovich Peshkov" on March 16, 1868, in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia -- which was later renamed in his honor after his death (ordered by Stalin himself, it is rumored). The bitterness of his early life led him to choose the name Maxim Gorky (which means "the bitter one") as his pseudonym. Although jailed periodically for association with revolutionaries and for his own outspoken opinion on the existing social order, Gorky managed to publish a few short stories, mostly about the tramps and derelicts he had met on his journeys. These short stories soon became very popular, touching the imagination of the Russian people. Gorky became a kind of folk hero. He was the first Russian author to write sympathetically of such characters as tramps and thieves, emphasizing their daily struggles against overwhelming odds. |

Beautifully written, sometimes heavy-handed The play is set in a flophouse filled with degenerates -- drunken actors, a dying woman and her husband, a former baron, and so forth.From these unlikely people, Gorky builds a tale of the realities of human nature, what it means to trust, to contribute to society, even to kill.The play is also worthwhile reading for students of pre-Revolutionary Russia -- the struggles leading up to that watershed event in Russian history are clearly evident. ...
