Deti solntsa ("Children of the Sun," 1905) is a play (written during the author's imprisonment in St. Petersburg's Peter-and-Paul Fortress) by Maxim Gorky. On the other hand, Gorky is the author of Vas'ka krasnyi ("Red Vaska," 1900), a story about the incredibly cruel red-haired bouncer (vyshibala) in a Volgan brothel, and the four-volume Zhizn' Klima Samgina ("The Life of Klim Samgin," 1928-36). Cf. Baron Klim Avidov in Ada (1.36). Baron is a character in Gorky's play Na dne ("At the Bottom," 1902).
