Alikaev Stone. Pogorelov A.

Alexey Sergeevich Pogorelov (1860-1920)-Russian writer, a native of the Ural mining serfs. At the end of the Perm Real School, he continued his studies in St. Petersburg, but in 1883 he was arrested for participating in the "people's will" and sent to Perm, where he was engaged in petitions for workers and peasants. Deep knowledge of the people, the masterful possession of the intricacies of the Russian language and the desire to transform the Fatherland formed the basis of his work. The best works were printed in the journal Russian Wealth, including the novel in this collection in front of the thunderstorm (1899), the stories of “In Potomas” (1902), “Alikaev Stone” (1905), the story “Omut” (1904). Preferring the life of the Urals, A. Pogorelov showed material power and at the same time moral decomposition of the bourgeoisie, paintings of unemployment, landing of the masses, conveying the pre -heating atmosphere of the late 19th century.
