A SHABBY ODYSSEY.
How Maxim Gorky's Work Reflects the
Life He Has Lived,

Life He Has Lived.
Maxim Gorky,' by Christian Brinton,
in ~Everybody's Magazine for April: 1T is
impossible not 10 feel that the bitter prt-
yations of the forlorn and shabby Odys-
sey tina Maxim Gorky has been-the
ceaseless heartache and bodily anguish
We're precisely those factors which con-
tributed most to his development. The
young man who Numbered into the office
OF the Tifis Kavkaz in soiled smock and
mud-stained boots knew little of literature,
but a vast deal OF life. During all those
years Of hopeless, baffied effort, when he
tramped over the sun-scorched or snow
driven eXpanse of Russia he had been
studying human nature at first hand. 1t
was not merely observation, but expert
ence, for he himself knew the blacklist
misery and despair. On one occasion he
even tried suicide, but was unwilllngly
nursed back to life OF a crude hospital
cot in Kazan. The bits of color and of
character which caught his eye or burne
themselves into his brain formed the raw
material Of each story, each sketch that
now flowed so freely from his pen. In
its outward traits, GoTky's work is a re-
heX, a record of the life he has lived.
Within ii Is a passionate protest against
the conditions, social and economic, of
his native land. Because only the strong
can exist among such rigorous surround
fngs he almost defies s~trength-sheer brute
force and cunning. The relentless Great
ures who surge through his stormy. tor
tured pages are invariably rebels. They
all show the savage hatred, the implacable
irony of the dethroned. They are out
casts and are the enemies of those who
nave cast them out. You may call this
individualism, you may call it anarchy,
but whatever ii is. il appeals powerfully
TO the Russian masses. They have long
been looking for their savior, their strong
man; he has not yet come. though he
seems at times on the way.
