    <![CDATA[<p> 				<strong>Maxim Gorky</strong> (1868-1936) was hailed by Anton Chekhov as the voice of his time.

    <![CDATA[<p> 				<strong>Maxim Gorky</strong> (1868-1936) was hailed by Anton Chekhov as the voice of his time. These five plays offer a panoramic view of pre-revolutionary Russian life and are here given accurate playable translations by Jeremy Brooks and Kitty Hunter-Blair.</p> 		<p> 				<em>The Lower Depths</em>: &quot;It is a raw and indignant play, intermittently preachifying, bursting with talent, full of that combination of brutality and sentimentality which characterizes so much of Gorky's work.&quot;-<em>Sunday Times</em></p> 		<p> 				<em>Summerfolk</em>: &quot;That volatility of mood that is the keynote of Russian drama ... the emotional fullness demanded by this rich, yeasty, madly neglected play.&quot;-<em>Guardian</em></p> 		<p> 				<em>Children of the Sun</em>: &quot;These half-seeing, self-absorbed, troubled people are sharing a picnic on top of an anthill that runs ten miles deep and cannot explore anywhere but up ... 1917 must come.&quot;-<em>New Statesman</em></p> 		<p> 				<em>Barbarians</em>: &quot;The effect is of richness, abundance, and unpredictability. The tone veers from the comic to the painful, the absurd to the ugly.&quot;-<em>The Times</em></p> 		<p> 				<em>Enemies</em>: &quot;Gorky's play is a real discovery, the missing link between Chekhov and the Russian Revolution.&quot;-<em>Observer</em></p>]]>
