Maxim Gorky presents a sweeping family saga that argues the corrupting nature of wealth and capitalism, tracing how ambition and moral decay gradually hollow out the Artamonov dynasty from within. Written with Gorky's signature realist intensity, the novel illustrates the deep social contradictions of a society on the brink of seismic change, capturing the lives of both the powerful and the powerless with unflinching honesty. Translated from the Russian by Alec Brown with an introduction by D.B. Thomas, this edition brings Gorky's masterwork to English-language readers in vivid, accessible prose.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956337586395,"sku":"2026200008432-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/ef511292-12c2-4084-9cc6-5eb2da2781d8.png?v=1783499815","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008432-secondhand-the-artamonov-business","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
