The influence of Gorky's works:

Nearly half a century after the writer's death, people's interest in him has continued to rise.

In European and American countries, "Golgi fever" has been set off from time to time. In particular, Gorky's scripts are constantly being put on stages in various countries, or made into television and movies. In the 1960s and 1970s, "At the Bottom" and "The Enemy" were staged or broadcast in the United States. "The Enemy" was considered by drama critics to be "the best play among the programs that have been broadcast."

In the Federal Republic of Germany, Gorky's "Vasa Zhileznova" was staged, and when "The Summer Guest" was performed, it was praised by critics as a grand event since the Renaissance. Gorky's plays have also been staged in France, the United Kingdom, Spain and other places.

Gorky’s works have been gradually introduced to China since the early 20th century. Many novels, plays and treatises have not only been translated into Chinese, but have also been compiled into single or multi-volume "Collected Works of Gorky" for publication. . His literary creation and literary theoretical views had an important influence on the development of new literature in China after the May Fourth Movement.
