Publisher's Synopsis
Foma Gordyeeff is a novel by the celebrated Russian writer Maxim Gorky, first published in 1901. The book tells the story of Foma Gordyeeff, a young man from a wealthy family who is determined to live life on his own terms. Foma's rebellious nature and unconventional thinking often put him at odds with his family and the conservative society in which he lives.As Foma navigates his way through life, he meets a variety of characters who shape his worldview, including a group of anarchists who introduce him to their radical ideas. Foma becomes increasingly disillusioned with the traditional values of his upbringing and begins to embrace a more radical and revolutionary philosophy.The novel is a powerful exploration of the struggle between tradition and modernity, and the tension between individual freedom and social responsibility. Gorky's vivid and evocative prose brings to life the world of turn-of-the-century Russia, with its complex social hierarchies, political upheavals, and intellectual ferment.Foma Gordyeeff is a classic of Russian literature, and a must-read for anyone interested in the history and culture of this fascinating country.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
