At the bottom. Gorky M.

In addition to the play “At the bottom”, the play “Bigshara”, as well as the essay of V. Khodasevich “Gorky”, is included in the real edition. Maxim Gorky (1868-1936) is one of the key figures of the literary turn of the XIX -XX centuries and Soviet literature, writer, publicist and public figure. The founder of the method of socialist realism. Gorky, obsessed with his dreams of “other people”, introduced the image of a semi -reward, half -like noble tramp into Russian literature, who had already mutated into the inhabitant of the overnight stay into Russian literature. The play “At the bottom” is undoubtedly one of the peaks of Gorky creativity. The main theme of the play “At the bottom” is the truth and a lie. The play is opposed by the elder Luke with his quiet and eternal truths and the loud resoner Satin, which, according to Marxist criticism, personifies the awakening of the proletarian consciousness. All his creative biography, like “crafty bow”, Gorky himself tried to “bring humanity to humanity gold” - “a dream of a socialist revolution as a panacea from all human suffering” (V. Khodasevich). And even his own “untimely thoughts” did not seem to cut him off.
