| | 1 | Author: | Gorky, Maxim | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Creatures That Once Were Men  | | | | Published: | 1997 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | IN front of you is the main street, with two rows of miserable
looking huts with shuttered windows and old walls pressing on each other
and leaning forward. The roofs of these time-worn habitations are full
of holes, and have been patched here and there with laths; from underneath
them project mildewed beams, which are shaded by the dusty-leaved
elder-trees and crooked white willows—pitiable flora of those suburbs
inhabited by the poor. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
