Publisher's Synopsis
""Stories of the Steppe"" is a collection of short stories written by the famous Russian author, Maxim Gorki, and originally published in 1918. The book consists of ten stories that take place in the vast and untamed landscape of the Russian steppe. Through his vivid descriptions and colorful characters, Gorki captures the essence of life on the steppe, with its harsh climate, nomadic tribes, and endless expanses of grassland. The stories explore themes of human struggle, survival, and the search for meaning in a world that can be both beautiful and unforgiving. Some of the characters in the book include a young boy who must fend for himself after his father dies, a Cossack who falls in love with a Tartar girl, and a group of travelers who get lost in the wilderness and must rely on their wits to survive. Overall, ""Stories of the Steppe"" is a powerful and moving collection of stories that offers a glimpse into a world that is both foreign and familiar, and reminds us of the resilience and strength of the human spirit.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
