The article discusses books and authors. For years, the prophet and reporter of the proletarian revolution, Maxim Gorki, when he found himself a little too old to keep up with the terrific onrush of events, decided to settle down, survey the traversed path, and try to recapture for posterity the colorful people and stirring incidents of his arduous and variegated life. Ever since 1913, Gorki has been writing almost exclusively in a mood of serene retrospection. His marvelous series of autobiographical works, his book of "Recollections," his "Fragments from My Diary," as well as most of the fictional works written by him during his later years, have all been in the reminiscent vein.
