Through Russia

Viac o knihe

The collection features an unnamed wanderer exploring early 20th century Russia, juxtaposing stunning natural landscapes with the despair of the lower classes. While the stories lack strong plots, they effectively portray a range of memorable characters and their philosophies. The translation may be lacking, with some key terms either untranslated or rendered obscurely, suggesting that an annotated edition could enhance understanding of Gorky's context and themes.
