By Count Leo Tolstoi.= (Published 1900.) It depicts with
a master hand the ocean of life rocked by storm and lulled to sleep and
ease. In the splash of every wave is heard the story of human emotions,
misery, disenchantment, suffering, crime, and life, that is true--even in
art. Illustrated. Cloth bound. Price, $1.00; postpaid.
="FOMA GORDEYEV." By Maxim Gorky.= (Published 1901.) This book made
Gorky's literary reputation in Russia, Germany and France. It is a most
remarkable novel. The New York _Evening Post_ says:
"Maxim Gorky, the young Russian poet of the vagabond and the
proletariat, the most ardent worshipper at the shrine of Nietzsche
and his ideal 'Over-Man,' owes much of his sudden popularity to his
personality. The son of a poor upholsterer, Gorky was thrown upon
his own resources at the age of nine and since then has experienced
a wide range of human emotions, struggles, depravity and misery.
Shoemaker, apple peddler, painter, dock-hand, railroad workman,
baker and tramp, this unique author had a thousand and one similar
occupations, and had even made more than one attempt to take his
own life."
This version of =Foma Gordeyev=, is in no way abridged, giving the exact
reproduction of the thought and expression of the author. Cloth bound.
Price, $1.00; postpaid.
=THE SEVEN WHO WERE HANGED. By Leonid Andreyev.= (Published 1909.) What
reviewers say:
"It is by reason of its art even more real, more horrifying, more
impressive than any other Russian fiction translated in a long
time.
