Sommario/riassunto

Imprisoned for his revolutionary activities and championed by Checkov, Maxim Gorky ('the bitter') had his first play produced by the Moscow Art Theatre in 1902. This book contains a comprehensive checklist of all the writer's plays, with a detailed performance history, excerpted reviews and a selection of the writers' own comments on his work.
