Produktbeschreibung
Through Russia by Maxim Gorky is a collection of short stories following an unnamed wanderer as he journeys across Russia. The stories alternate between vivid, almost poetic descriptions of the expansive natural beauty of the Russian landscape and the bleak realities faced by the impoverished and marginalized members of society. Through the wanderer's encounters, Gorky contrasts the grandeur of nature with the crushing despair of life for those at the lowest rungs of the social ladder. The collection captures the emotional and physical struggles of the people the wanderer meets, from their harsh daily lives to their yearning for change. Gorky's use of purple prose in describing the Russian wilderness serves to enhance the stark contrast between the beauty of the environment and the hopelessness felt by the downtrodden. Ultimately, the stories present a powerful commentary on the social inequalities and hardships experienced by the lower classes, while also reflecting on the wanderer's own reflections and philosophical musings on life and society.

Autorenporträt
Alexei Maximovich Peshkov, better known as Maxim Gorky, was a renowned Russian and Soviet writer and a strong advocate for socialism. Born on March 28, 1868, in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, he became one of the most prominent figures in Russian literature during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Gorky's works often reflected his deep concern for the oppressed and his belief in social justice, which made him a leading figure in the socialist movement. His literary contributions include novels, plays, and short stories that critiqued social inequality and the human condition. Gorky was nominated five times for the Nobel Prize in Literature, a testament to his influence and the impact of his writing. His personal life included a marriage to Yekaterina Peshkova, from 1896 to 1903, though he later separated from her. Maxim Gorky spent his later years in Gorki-10, Russia, where he died on June 18, 1936, at the age of 68. His legacy as a writer and a proponent of socialist ideals continues to be a significant part of Russian literary history.
