"Malva and Other Tales" by Maxim Gorky, published by P. F. Collier & Son in New York, is a collection of stories translated from the Russian. The book features a frontispiece and a biographical sketch, offering readers insight into Gorky's life and works. Gorky, a pivotal figure in Russian literature, is renowned for his realistic storytelling and deep exploration of social themes. This edition, though undated, is a testament to Gorky’s enduring influence. The absence of a dust jacket and the presence of minor wear suggest it is a vintage copy, potentially scarce in this particular binding. The book is a valuable addition for collectors of classic literature, especially those interested in Russian narratives.
