Children of the Sun by Maxim Gorky

philosophie's review against another edition

Go to review page

4.0

A play that centers around the children of the sun, the privileged human beings that stubbornly refuse to see past their selfishness at what is happening around them, drowned in the safety of their bourgeois class. By not dealing with anything of altruistic character but their personal needs and feelings, they end up colliding into each other, cracking the sphere of naivety which surrounded them.

An exceptional social criticism that demonstrates the need for change, without falling into ideological traps.
