Gorky Tolstoi compared as rival prophets of revolution
A. Edgerton surveys Maxim Gorky and Tolstoi as elemental, opposing figures. Gorky, the bohemian “voice of the tramp,” aligns with revolution and the underworld, while Tolstoi embodies conventional morality and pacifist, reformist thought. The piece traces Gorky’s life, ethos, and clash with Russia’s regime, plus his admiration for American democracy and liberty.

Gorky portrait and withering life of a Russian writer
A Proletarian to the Limit profiles Alexei Maximovitch Pieshkoff known as Gorky, born 1868 in Nijni Novgorod. The piece traces his hardship ridden childhood, varied early jobs, near suicide, and rise to fame as a voice for the proletariat, arguing that environment shapes but does not define genius. It ends with reflections on the sources of greatness and the force of character beyond circumstance.
