  Maxim Gorky (1868-1936) was gifted and prolific, riddled with contradictions, praised increasingly for political rather than literary reasons. This book presents an unfamiliar Gorky: a figure who, once the cliches are stripped away from him, becomes enigmatic as man, as writer, and as historical figure.
