Old Isergil. Gorky M.

The collection includes the early romantic stories of the famous Russian writer Maxim Gorky (1868-1936). In them, the author makes us think not only about what is happening with literary heroes, but also about ourselves, “about the root and important” in our own life. What is freedom and what is more important - freedom or love? Why did we come to this world? What will remain of us? How in the legend of Larra - a shadow? Or as in the legend of Danko - “Blue Sparks in the steppe, what are before a thunderstorm”? Who are we - adherents of human, longing for activity, even feat - or vulgar, striving to safely arrange his small world?

In Gorky's stories is there a miracle of generosity and a miracle of love, the miracle of the strength of the spirit and the miracle of the joy of a person among the unbearable and exhausting labor. And we really need such works today: after all, the author told us such words that no one said before.
