Omschrijving

The Orloff Couple and Malva is a novel by Russian writer Maxim Gorky, first published in 1901. The story follows the lives of three characters: the Orloff couple, a wealthy and influential couple in the town, and Malva, a poor and orphaned girl who is taken in by the couple as a servant.The Orloffs are portrayed as cruel and heartless, using their power and wealth to control and manipulate those around them. Malva, on the other hand, is portrayed as innocent and kind-hearted, despite her difficult upbringing.As the story unfolds, Malva becomes increasingly disillusioned with the Orloffs and their way of life. She begins to question the morality of their actions and the values they hold dear. Meanwhile, the Orloffs' actions begin to catch up with them, and they are forced to confront the consequences of their actions.The novel explores themes of power, corruption, and morality, as well as the stark contrast between the lives of the wealthy and the poor in early 20th century Russia. Gorky's writing is characterized by his vivid descriptions of the characters and their surroundings, as well as his ability to capture the complexities of human nature.Overall, The Orloff Couple and Malva is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that offers a glimpse into the social and political realities of early 20th century Russia.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
