This book gives a broad and generalized picture of life in Russia on the eve of the Revolution of 1905. The narrative is based on events which took place in the town of Sormovo. Pyotr Andreyevich Zalomov, a Sormovo worker, and his mother Anna Kirillovna served as prototypes for the main characters in Gorky’s novel, embodied in Pavel Vlassov, a revolutionary, and his mother Nilovna, a workman’s wife.

This collection contains the last essays of Gorky, which are related centrally to the theme stated in the title of this book-culture and the people. It is a representative selection from the voluminous publicist efforts in which the author was engaged during the last ten years of his life. Together with his book full of articles, On Guard for the Soviet Union, the present volume reveals a side of Gorky’s writing as necessary to an understanding of his work as his novels, stories, autobiographical volumes and plays. Some of the contributions are slashing polemics; many were written under the

This was not a happy time for the young Gorky as conditions were poor and often violent. At the age of eight, the boy’s grandfather forced him to quit school and apprenticed him to several tradesmen including a shoemaker and
