Gorky Maxim The Outcasts & Other Stories
Maxim Gorky's short stories provide a candid and unflinching portrayal of life among the downtrodden of Russian society. Drawing on experiences from the author's own early life, which was characterised by poverty and abuse, his tales feature resourceful thieves, delinquent tramps, and browbeaten workers. These stunning, thought-provoking short stories helped forge Gorky's reputation as a major proponent of literary socialist realism. This brilliant collection includes the classic tales, The Outcasts, Makar Chudra, Twenty-Six and One, At the Salt Marsh, Chelkash and Song of the Falcon.

Gorky Maxim Old Izergil and Other Stories
Maxim Gorky (1868-1936) is a Russian writer and playwright, one of the most significant and well-known Russian writers and thinkers in the world. Gorky was nominated five times for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Having begun with romantically inspired novels, songs in prose and short stories, Gorky then turned to dramaturgy. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, he became famous for his works in a revolutionary spirit. Gorky is also the author of cycles of essays, autobiographical novels, plays, two major novels, and documentary stories. Maxim Gorky is in fact a pen name of Alexei Maximovich Peshkov, which first appeared in 1892 as a signature for the short story Makar Chudra. This collection of short stories, named after the famous story Old Izergil, presents, perhaps, the best-known stories of Gorky, which reveal his many-sided writing talent. The main pathos of the writer's works is the dream of "new people", fearless and free, possessing the highest intellectual and physical abilities, able to achieve overarching goals beyond the possible, including even immortality.

Gorky Maxim The Mother
Inspired by real events and centring on the figure of Pelageya Vlasova – the mother of the title – and her son Pavel, Gorky's masterpiece describes the brutal life of ordinary Russian factory workers in the years leading to the 1905 Revolution and explores the rise of the proletariat, the role of women in society and the lower classes' struggle for self-affirmation. A book of the utmost importance, in the words of Lenin, and a landmark in Russian literature, The Mother – here presented in a brilliant new version by Hugh Aplin, the first English translation in almost a century – will enchant modern readers both for its historical significance and its intrinsic value as a work of art.

Nietzsche Friedrich Wilhelm On the Genealogy of Morals
'The sight of suffering does one good, the infliction of suffering does one more good - this is a hard maxim, but none the less a fundamental maxim, old, powerful, and "human, all-too-human".' In this daring and insightful work, Nietzsche lays bare the hypocrisies at the foundations of our ideas of morality. Considering ideas of good and evil, guilt and conscience, and law and violence along the way, On the Genealogy of Morals takes the reader on a journey through the history of value systems in three masterful essays. His insights are sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes provocative, but always demonstrate the workings of an exceptional mind. Together, this collection of essays makes up one of the most powerful works of modern philosophy that seeks to do nothing less than unravel the mysteries of human nature.
