The class war. The center cannot hold. The old world decays. Art seems superfluous.

Isang klasikong dula ni Gorky, tanyag na manunulat na Ruso. Kuwento ng isang pamilyang burgesya/elit na nagmamay-ari ng isang pagawaan. Dahil sa pagpasok ng ideolohiyang sosyalismo ang mga manggagawa ay natutong magreklamo at ipaglaban ang kanilang mga karapatan sa pamamagitan ng paghingi ng ilang demand sa pamunuan ng kumpanya. Pinapakita ang masalimuot na tunggalian ng proletaryado at naghaharing-uri. Ang simpatya ni Gorky ay nasa mga manggagawa at talagang dramatiko ang presentasyon nya ng mga eksena. Tunay na pupukaw sa umaapoy na damdaming radikal.

Brilliant! I wish I could've seen it on the stage.

In all terms, a revolutionary play of his time. Intense and cinematic. But may not be of greater interest for the contemporary readers who have, indirectly or directly, in some form, would have engaged with the ideas and situations in this work.

This is my least favourite Gorky play I've read. It doesn't capture the same angst as the Zykovs, and lacks to perfect expression of human flaws in the Lower Depths. It's worth a read for some scope of Gorky's work, but if you haven't read any of his plays - Lower Depths is the way to go.

Ἕνα θεατρικὸ ἔργο τοῦ Γκόρκη ποὺ μᾶς ταξιδεύει στὴν προεπαναστατικὴ Ῥωσία τοῦ 1905 καὶ στὰ πάθη τῶν Ἐχθρῶν, δηλ. τῶν βιομηχάνων καὶ τῶν ἐργατῶν, μέσα ἀπὸ τοὺς σοσιαλρεαλιστικῆς ὑφῆς διαλόγους τῶν προσώπων.
