Twenty-six and One, and Other Stories by Maksim Gorky
"Twenty-six and One, and Other Stories" by Maksim Gorky is a collection published in 1899. The title story follows twenty-six men toiling in a cellar bakery, scorned by those around them. Their sole comfort is sixteen-year-old Tanya, who visits each morning. When a boastful soldier arrives and disrupts their fragile refuge, their devotion is tested. This cruelly realistic yet poetic tale explores beauty, disillusionment, and human dignity among society's downtrodden, earning recognition
as one of Gorky's finest early works. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
