The Man Who Was Afraid by Maksim Gorky
"The Man Who Was Afraid" by Maksim Gorky is a novel published in 1899. It follows Foma Gordeyev, an energetic man from Russia's merchant class who craves freedom and space to realize his potential. But life feels suffocating, restricting his power at every turn. He discovers there's no place for heroes in this world of commerce—only small conventions that crush grand ambitions. His passionate protest against life's fever drives this sweeping portrait
of contemporary Russian society. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
