"This is the first English translation of this book. Maxim Gorki, the most famous of living Russian authors, has had a varied and adventurous career. Each section of these reminiscences is a phase in Gorki's life. Many of the descriptive passages are remarkably fine and vivid, and Gorki has made no concessions to a squeamishness which would shirk the unpleasant facts of life. All the vigour and directness of Gorki's style, all his acute perception and realistic powers have gone to the making of this extraordinary autobiography, and to the portrayal of the many characters, fantastic, pitiful, humorous, which crowd its pages"--dust jacket.
