Through Russia

Over my head hung chestnut trees decked with gold; at my feet lay a mass of chestnut leaves which resembled the amputated palms of human hands; on the opposite bank, where there waved, tanglewise, the stripped branches of a hornbeam, an orange-tinted woodpecker was darting to and fro, as though caught in the mesh of foliage--by Maxim Gorky.

Maxin Gorky, the pseudonym of Alexei Maximovich Pieshkov, who was born at Nizni-Novgorod, now named after him, in 1868. His own life as a tramp is realistically described in Through Russia. Suffered pulmonary tuberculosis and lived in Italy from 1907-13 and 1922-28. Became a leading political figure of the Soviet regime in its first two decades. Died 1936.
