Summary "Orlowit: mies ja vaimo" by Maksim Gorky is a novella written in the early 20th century. The book explores the tumultuous relationship of a working-class couple, Grigori and Matrjona Orlow, as they navigate the despair of their lives marked by poverty, alcoholism, and domestic violence. The story unfolds in a gritty, oppressive setting that reflects their struggles and emotional turmoil. The opening portion of the novella introduces Grigori Orlow, a cobbler with a fierce temper, and his wife Matrjona, who endures both physical and emotional abuse. The scene is tense, depicting a chaotic environment where neighbors gossip about the couple's frequent fights. Grigori grapples with feelings of shame and guilt over his violent behavior, yet feels trapped in a cycle of anger and despair. Their conversations reveal deep-rooted issues of boredom, frustration, and resentment in their marriage. Through Gorky's vivid portrayal, readers witness the oppressive nature of their lives and the impact of societal conditions on personal relationships, setting the tone for the haunting exploration of human vulnerability and resilience.
