Creatures That Once Were Men Maxim Gorky

Creatures That Once Were Men describes us a kind of fall of humanity, Gorky very well expresses a sense of strangeness and essential human value that, very often, is completely absent in civilizations as difficult to understand and complex as ours. But for all Gorky as skepticism and superficial brutality, it is for him the apparent downfall of humanity, which is not simply great and regrettable, but essential and even mystical.
