Summary

Maksim Gorky's 'Through Russia' offers a poignant and realistic portrayal of Russia's social and political landscape during the early 20th century. Gorky's writing style is characterized by its raw emotion and vivid descriptions, providing readers with a deep insight into the struggles of the Russian people. The book delves into themes of poverty, revolution, and the human condition, making it a significant piece of Russian literature. Gorky's use of symbolism and allegory adds a layer of complexity to the narrative, inviting readers to explore the deeper meanings behind the characters and events depicted in the book. Maksim Gorky, a prominent Russian writer and political activist, drew inspiration from his own experiences growing up in poverty to write 'Through Russia'. His firsthand knowledge of the hardships faced by the working class in Russia informs the authenticity and passion of his writing. Through his work, Gorky aimed to shed light on the social injustices prevalent in Russian society and provoke thought and action among his readers. I highly recommend 'Through Russia' to readers interested in exploring the complexities of Russian society and politics. Gorky's masterful storytelling and insightful commentary make this book a must-read for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Russian literature and history.

    The author of The Circle of Simplicity “joyfully invites us to discover a robust and real personal expansion with each other as we remake our society” (Mark Lakeman, cofounder, The City Repair Project). 
 
Every man for himself! For too long we have lived in a competitive, consumer-oriented culture, destroying the well-being of people and the planet. We believe that money brings happiness, yet all too often, the opposite is true. The pursuit of wealth at any cost corrupts our values and diminishes our lives. The resulting inequality breaks down social cohesion and generates envy, bitterness, and resentment. Greed breeds more greed. 
 
Living Room Revolution refutes the notion that selfishness is at the root of human nature. Research shows that people—given the right circumstances—can be caring, nurturing and collaborative. Presented with the opportunity, they gravitate toward actions and policies embodying empathy, fairness, and trust instead of competition, fear, and greed. The regeneration of social ties and the sense of caring and purpose that comes from creating community drive this essential transformation. 
 
At the heart of this movement is the ancient art of conversation. Living Room Revolution provides a practical toolkit of concrete strategies to facilitate personal and social change by bringing people together in community and conversation. 
 
The heart of happiness is joining with others in good talk and laughter. Each person can make a difference, and it can all start in your own living room! 
 
“Small groups. Study circles. Stop ’n chats. House parties. Movie nights. Online sharing. Bring people together, and you never know what kind of fuse you’ll ignite for change.” —Wanda Urbanska, author of The Heart of Simple Living
