«Nilushka», «The Girl», «About Ivan the Fool», «Grandmother's Starling»

Stories by the master of prose from the early 20th century, Maxim Gorky, are known and loved by readers of all generations. We invite you to listen to several of M. Gorky’s stories masterfully performed by narrator Alexander Synytsia—enjoy their magnificent language, unexpected plot twists, and natural delivery.
In this audio collection there are four M. Gorky stories: "Nilushka," "The Girl," "About Ivanushka the Fool," and "Grandma’s Starling." They are united not only by the narrator’s performance, but also by the theme—purity and filth in the human soul, and the contrast between the naive hero and the surrounding reality in which he lives. In each of the stories the author speaks about it differently; what remains unchanged is only M. Gorky’s position—he is always on the side of purity: he admires it, but understands how fragile it is.
