EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a historic moment in Russian literary history, featuring three of the country's most celebrated authors: Anton Chekhov, Leo Tolstoy, and Maxim Gorky. Taken around 1905, the image finds Chekhov, the playwright and short story writer, seated on the left, his intense gaze fixed on the camera. In the center, the esteemed Count Leo Tolstoy, renowned for his lengthy novels and philosophical insights, gazes thoughtfully off to the side. On the right, Maxim Gorky, the founder of socialist realism and a political activist, looks directly at the camera with a determined expression. The three literary giants, who lived during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, were pioneers of Russian literature and left an indelible mark on the literary world. Their works, which explored the complexities of human nature and societal issues, continue to captivate readers and inspire generations of writers.
