Maxim Gorky continues to be regarded as the greatest literary
representative of revolutionary Russia. Born of the people, and
having experienced in his own person their sufferings and their
misery, he was enabled by his extraordinary genius to voice their
grievances and their aspirations for a better life as no academic
could.
His international fame rests on a tremendous literary output,
including the powerful play "The Lower Depths," the monumental
novel of the 1905 Russian Revolution, "Mother," his vital
Autobiography and, of course, his short stories. This edition of
"The Collected Short Stories of Maxim Gorky" includes his benchmark
masterpieces "Creatures That Once Were Men" and "Twenty-Six Men and
a Girl" as well as "Chelkash and My Fellow-Traveller" among many
others. The collection represents the very best of Gorky's
genius.
For this edition the renowned scholar and author Frederic Ewen
has written a penetrating new introduction evaluating Gorky's place
in the world's literary pantheon.
