Publisher's Synopsis

""Orloff and His Wife: Tales of the Barefoot Brigade"" is a collection of short stories by the Russian writer Maxim Gorky. The stories revolve around the life of a group of impoverished workers in pre-revolutionary Russia, known as the Barefoot Brigade. The main character, Orloff, is a former sailor who becomes a leader of the Barefoot Brigade and a champion of the working class. The stories deal with themes such as poverty, social injustice, and the struggle for survival in a harsh world. Gorky's writing style is characterized by vivid descriptions of the characters and their surroundings, as well as a deep empathy for the human condition. ""Orloff and His Wife"" is a powerful portrayal of the lives of ordinary people in a time of great social upheaval, and it remains a classic of Russian literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
