Changes

However close Gorky brings his readers to understanding these men and picturing the unique time which surrounded them, it is locked away in the past and this book is but a small key. To sum up this sentiment, I will end with of my favourite quotes from Gorky's writing:

I would like to thank the publisher, Fitzcarraldo Editions, for an ARC of this book. For a biography which focuses solely on Tolstoy, I would recommend [[Tolstoy: A Russian Life by Rosamund Bartlett]].
