Das Nachtasyl" - die Welt der Underdogs, der Gescheiterten, Arbeits- und Obdachlosen. Jeder der Asylbewohner bewahrt bei Gorki in der Tristesse eines ausweglosen Alltags seine unverwechselbare Persönlichkeit und klammert sich mit dem Rest des verbliebenen Lebenswillens an die Hoffnung auf ein Entrinnen aus dem erniedrigenden Dasein. Gezeigt wird, wie jeder auf seine Art und Weise zu überleben sucht. In eindringlichen Bildern beschreibt das Stück jene, die am Tiefpunkt ihrer Existenz angelangt sind, die mit dem Leben nicht mehr fertig werden und ihre Angst, ihre Einsamkeit, Hoffnung und Depression durch nervenaufreibende Streitereien, Haarspaltereien und Lügen nur notdürfig verdeckt. Quelle: Amazon.de Though this is technically still socialist realism, it's early enough that the term hadn't yet hist the heights of self-parodying, straitjacketing genre description that it — and Gorky himself — would reach in post-Revolution Russia. Decent, though a lot of the newness of the ideas are now long since old hat. The relentless pessimism particularly with regards to the ending, for example, now seems like what you'd expect from a student just out of art school rather than an established writer. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

The first of Russia's great proletarian writers, Alexey Maximovich Peshkov (1868-1936) adopted the pen name of Gorky, meaning "bitter." Drawing on his own experiences in the lowest social echelon, Gorky portrayed the wretched lives of down-and-outers, instilling his tales with heartfelt protest against a world that both tolerated and fostered the miseries of the underclass. In The Lower Depths, his dramatic masterpiece of 1902, Gorky presents a grimly realistic view of a desperate circle of lost souls. The play unfolds in a derelict boarding house, where a cast of despairing characters argue, play cards, tell stories, and debate the merits of two opposite worldviews: a self-reliant existence free of illusions, or a romanticized outlook that softens the pain of daily life. A revealing look at the atmosphere that led to the 1917 Russian Revolution, the drama abounds in shrewd observations, lifelike characters, and compelling dialog that make it a work of enduring vitality.

Still, 3½*** considering that this doesn't seem to be an easy title to find in translation and that it's important for its association with Eugene O'Neill. ( )
