About the book

The Artamonovs by Maxim Gorky traces the fortunes of a Russian industrial family across several generations. Beginning with the family's rise through energy, ambition and commercial success, the novel gradually reveals the personal and social tensions created by wealth and industrial change. Against the background of Russia's transformation in the decades leading toward revolution, Gorky examines the decline of an old social order and the uncertainty of the new world replacing it. The novel combines family drama with a broader portrait of social, economic and political change.
