Maxim Gorky

Maxim Gorky crafted beautifully written stories and plays bemoaning the social inequalities of pre-revolutionary Russia. After he participated in the revolution, his increasing mistrust of Lenin led him into exile, and when he returned under Stalin, he lived under house arrest until his death. This week, P. T. and Dr. C take a look at his life and two of his pre-revolutionary tales.
