Notable quotes

“Youths of the Pellaians and of the Macedonians and of the Hellenic Amphictiony and of the Lakedaimonians and of the Corinthians… and of all the Hellenic peoples, join your fellow-soldiers and entrust yourselves to me, so that we can move against the barbarians and liberate ourselves from the Persian bondage, for as Greeks we should not be slaves to barbarians.”
— Alexander the Great, as quoted in the Historia Alexandri Magni of Pseudo-Kallisthenes, 1.15.1-4
“Some of the men muttered and looked at the youth in awe-struck ways...It was revealed to him that he had been a barbarian, a beast. He had fought like a pagan who defends his religion.”
— Stephen Crane, The Red Badge of Courage, Chapter 12 (1895). Quoted in Swainson, Bill, Encarta Book of Quotations. Bloomsbury, London, 2000 (pg. 239).
“Attila the Hun remains to this day a byword for savagery and destruction. His is one of the few names from antiquity that still prompt instant recognition, putting him alongside the likes of Alexander, Caesar, Cleopatra and Nero. Attila has become the barbarian of the ancient world.”
— Adrian Goldsworthy, The Fall of the West: The Death of the Roman Superpower (2009) pt. 3, ch. 17
“Bourgeois society stands at the crossroads, either transition to Socialism or regression into Barbarism.”
— Rosa Luxemburg, Junius Pamphlet (1916)
“Since barbarism has its pleasures, it naturally has its apologists.”
— George Santayana, The Life of Reason: Reason in Society (1905-6)
“Anyone can be a barbarian; it requires a terrible effort to remain a civilized man.”
— Leonard Woolf, Barbarians at the Gate (London: Victor Gollancz Ltd, 1939), p. 83

Overview

Barbarians is a 1906 play by Maxim Gorky. It was written in the summer of 1905 in Kuokkala and first published by the 1906 Znaniye Collection. It came out as a separate edition via the Ditz Publishers. Synopsis The quiet life in Verkhpolye, a small provincial town, is disturbed by the arrival of the team of railroad constructors, among them engineers Cherkun and Tsyganov. The old order, set by the town's mayor Redozubov, had been described as 'patriarchal barbarism', but it soon becomes clear that the cynical, amoral newcomers who claim to be 'heralds of civilization', bring in nothing but barbarism again, even if in its modern version. As a result, Nadezhda Monakhova, seduced and deceived by Cherkun, commits suicide, the local government official Drobyazgin, involved in embezzlement, has to leave the place, Redozubov's son Grisha falls victim to alcohol addiction. Lukin, a student, remains untouched by both kinds of barbarism, for he seems to know ways of resisting and fighting them. Production history The play premiered in May 1906 at the provincial theatres, in Kursk, Ekaterinoslav and Lugansk. Later that year it was produced in Berlin. In 1907 it was staged in Saint Petersburg, by the Sovremenny and Novy Vasilyeostrovsky theatres.
