“As Mr Lyman Beecher Stowe is responsible for the English, it is unnecessary to say the style is lucid and simple. One can never miss the author’s meaning, and this makes a book which otherwise might be difficult very easy reading. The revelations made in this volume are by no means new to any diplomatist stationed in Europe during the years immediately preceding 1914; but for the public at large they are admirably stated here.” M. F. Egan

This drama of the underworld is translated from the Russian by Edwin Hopkins and is here printed with an introduction by Henry T. Schnittkind. The latter contains a short summary of Gorki’s life with an equally short characterization of his dramas.
“Mr Hopkins’s translation is frequently uncouth and difficult to read. Undoubtedly that is true of the original—but in a different way, since it represents the staccato utterance of Russian speech. One could hardly imagine it possible that in its present form it would be intelligible on the stage. But who would desire to see it on the stage?”
