Gorky saves books

Gorky, the world's literary giant, has a deep affection for books and loves books as much as his life. Once, there was a fire in his room. The first thing he picked up were books, and he didn't consider anything else. He was almost burned to death trying to save the books. He said:

"Books enlighten my wisdom and soul, and help me stand up in a muddy pond. If it weren't for books, I would sink in this muddy pond, and I would be buried. Drowning in stupidity and obscenity.
