This single volume collects the works of Maxim Gorky, created during the pivotal time of the turn of the century, when his unique voice-the voice of the "stormy petrel of the revolution"-was being formed. Present here are essays and short stories from 1899-1900: "Twenty-Six and One," "Bubbles," "The Peasant," "Vaska the Red," and others. They reveal the harsh truth about the lives of the people, about labor and humiliation, about the hopes and rebellious impulses of the common man. These texts marked an important stage in Gorky's development from romantic legends to realism and social drama. The novel "Foma Gordeyev" reveals the fate of a merchant's heir, whose thirst for freedom and power is dashed by the emptiness of the surrounding world and his own impotence. It tells not only the story of one man but also the image of an entire generation suffocated within the confines of the old order. The dramatic play "The Lower Depths" is the pinnacle of Gorky's early work, a work that transformed the Russian stage. Here, in the gloomy cellars of a flophouse, eternal questions resound: what is man, where is truth, and is it worth living by hope or truth? The works collected in this book show the writer in motion-from poignant sketches to profound social novels and plays that have become classics of world literature. This is Gorky's journey to himself and to the people to whom he dedicated his words.
