Description

The Artamonovs by Maxim Gorki

A panorama of three generations during the years of ferment which preceded the Revolution, this is Gorki’s masterpiece, written with compelling power, its dark background of violence, dissipation and passionate tragedy shot with light and colour. Ivan Artamonov, coarse and ruthless, descends on the little town of Dromov, soon dominating its life by sheer force of personality. With the help of his sons he founds a prosperous textile factory, but at his death both family and business go rapidly down-hill to inevitable disintegration in the abortive revolution of 1905. Fierce in its realism, this unforgettable book records the tragedy not only of the Artamonovs but of the whole Russian bourgeoisie, and of Russia itself.
