first became known in England
through the medium of translation
some three years age, when his most
important novel, '.Foma Gordyeff," ap
peared in an English dress.
Gorky's knowledge of the outcast
and destitute was gained at first hand,
for there is no depth Of social misery
which he has not shared. The son of
] an upholsterer in Mini NOygorod, he
was left an orphan at a very early
age, and was apprenticed to shoe
maker. From this employment he ran
away, and his occupations thereafter
were legion. By turns he worked as
draughtsman, maker of ikons, cooks
boy on board a Volga steamer, gar
dener's boy, and journeyman baker,
apple peddler, dock laborer, sawyer,
porter railway watchman, and beer
seller. From his 18th year he had
been consumed by the desire for
knowledge, and having at least the
keys of education in his hands he had
become voracious reader. He then
obtained better employment as assist
ant secretary to a councillor at law,
but once more he took the read, for
the vagabond in him is irrepressitle.
At Tifis he served in a railway work.

shop and there his VOCATION declared
itself, and a Tiflis journal had the
honor Of publishing his first story. His
revolutionary principles. inevitable to
such character, could not escape the
notice of the police, and with his rising
fame came series of arrests. Before
1901 he had been in prison eight times,
and from prison he made arrange
ments for the American publication of
"Foma Gordyffeff.'
Like his play, Gorkys novels and
paint the harsh details of his wander
ings Any idealization he may achieve
is spiritual rather than material. In
the bake house in "Twenty-six Men"
he makes the reader actually feel the
squalor and inhumanity of the abomin-
able den where the teller of the tale
and ive-and-twenty other living ma
chimes in a damp underground cellar,
from morning till night kneaded dough
and rolled it into kringels.' These
bakers were little removed from the
condition Of the "Bozia!1s," the Rus
sian outcasts, and indeed the food
flung to them by their master was the
same tainted offal as that consumed
by the Russian casuals. 1t seemed
that such a life could have no ray
of joy. but it came to them in devotion
to a little maidservant, Tanya, who
used to peep into the bake house and
cry: Little prisoners, have you any
kringels for me-" But there came to
the shop a new hand, a staggering
soldier and the bakers lost their ideal.
The dramatic effect is extraordinary
the conflict between the girl and the
powers of darkness. as reflected in the
minds of her chivalrOuS admirers, may
be said to effect something fresh in
fiction. Even amid all the hopeless
ness there is hope for the sordidness
of the bakers existence has not
crushed out every remnant of finer
feeling. It may be, however, that here
and in other writings Gorky reads his
own curiously negative idealism into
the character of his comrades in mis-
fortune
