Abstract:
In the collective work M. Gorky is presented as a publisher, editor, author of numerous publishing projects, a talented organizer and a thoughtful literary critic. Publishing activity, being versatile in its essence, corresponded to the same nature of the writer: he was definetely in love with literature, able to gather worthy like-minded people, organize active independent writers, find and support young authors. The book covers all periods of Gorky’s publishing life, starting with the “Znanie” association and ending with the projects “History of the Civil War” and “History of the Village.” Each of the participants in the collection introduces new archival materials into scientific circulation, actively uses correspondence, comprehends and voices the reasons for the emergence and closure of publishing houses and projects. The new methodology makes this collective study relevant and innovative. The book contains meaningful and necessary “Appendices”. The work is intended for philologists, publishers, editors, historians, culturologists, students, graduate students, as well as for a wide range of readers.erts, and to everyone who is interested in the traditional cultural heritage of the Mongolian-speaking peoples.
Keywords: M. Gorky, publisher, editor, archival materials.
