Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Today we look at Russia's Maxim Gorky (Maksim Gorky) and "Twenty-Six and One" (Twenty-Six and a Girl) which was published in 1899. A great piece that shows the plight of the working life under the Russian Empire at the time. Possible influences and interpretations of religion in here as well. I hope you enjoy the piece! Our version was translated by Ivan Strannik.
