Gorky: Passions for Maxim
29.99 €
Maxim Gorky - one of the most complex personalities of the late XIX - the first third of the twentieth century. Even today he remains a figure of mystery, in many ways inexplicable. They argue about the circumstances of his departure from life: some believe that he died of his own death, others - that he was "helped", and about his writerly greatness: was he not a figure, inflated by his era? Wasn't his fame first the result of revolutionary fashion and then of ideological propaganda?
Why did he go into exile from Lenin and return to Stalin? These and other questions are answered by Pavel Basinsky - writer and journalist, winner of the prize "Big Book", author of the books "Leo Tolstoy: Escape from Paradise", "Saint against the Lion" about the feud between Tolstoy and John of Kronstadt, "The Lion in the shadow of the Lion" and "Look at me. The Secret History of Lisa Diakonova." The book is rich in illustrative material; also included are memoirs by Vladislav Khodasevich, Kornei Chukovsky, Viktor Shklovsky, Yevgeny Zamyatin, and a little-known obituary of Lev Trotsky.
