How is Maxim Gorky (1868-1936), which grew up among cruelty and poverty, which has been left to himself from ten years, and did not have the opportunity to get a full education, managed to become even under tsarism, the star of the Russian literary scene? And how, after the 1917 revolution, this utopian, obsessed with the idea of ​​freedom, this self -taught and passionate propagandist of culture, came to the recognition of the need for the dictatorship of the proletariat - to such an extent that he completely subordinated his work and his life to Lenin, and then Stalin?

It is this unusual and winding path that is brightly and inspired by Henri Troya in his book.
