Abstract
The review considers the monograph “Oriental motifs in the works of M. Gorky” by M.V. Rusakova. The book is highly rated because it fills a very significant gap in Gorky’s studies; previous research references to the subject in Gorky’s prose were quite rare and accidental. It is also important that it is not Gorky’s works usually ranked to be those of the first row in the writer’s heritage were used as an object for studying.
Finally the monograph is a very promising study, because each of the aspects considered in the book in any of the analyzed Gorky works can and should be considered in even more detail – with access to the deep meanings and features of the author’s attitude.
