I Want Every Man to be a Man (MP3 audiobook)

Conflict situations reveal the personality at the moment of its moral self-determination, reassessment of values, at the moment when the question of life and death is decided. 'For' and 'against' torment Gorky's heroes. 'Nothing in the world,' wrote M. Gorky, 'deserves more attention than my friend or foe - Man'. Exactly so, Man with a capital letter, '...I want every man to be a Man!', exclaims the writer in his philosophical poem 'Man'. The concept of 'Man' for Gorky is the main, fundamental one. The writer's reflections on the meaning of human life permeate this entire collection. Gorky's journalistic articles, letters, speeches, his pamphlets and stories, written in the first person, convey with documentary accuracy the thoughts and feelings of the writer, recreate his spiritual image (in the composition the role of the writer is played by Innokenty Smoktunovsky). The Gorky character is a direct participant in the events unfolding before the listener. His words, then passionate and indignant, then full of admiration, are addressed not only to literary heroes. Gorky's words are also addressed to us. They encourage us to make our own choice.
The writer-humanist says: 'Every man whose heart burns with the desire to see all people free outwardly and inwardly, reasonable, beautiful comrades.... - every such man is a torch.'
