[Anna coughs; Satine is lying down motionless, his hands folded behind his head.]

THE ACTOR [looks about him morosely, then goes to Anna] Feeling bad, eh?

ANNA. I’m choking—

THE ACTOR. If you wish, I’ll take you into the hallway. Get up, then, come! [He helps her to rise, wraps some sort of a rag about her shoulders, and supports her toward the hall] It isn’t easy. I’m sick myself—poisoned with alcohol . . .

KOSTILYOFF. Going for a stroll? What a nice couple—the gallant cavalier and the lady fair!

Peça de teatro originalíssima, o autor serve-se de um grupo de lumpen-proletários (tão detestados por Karl Marx), para construir uma comédia sublime.

چیزی که از همون اول نظرم رو جلب کرد به این نمایش، تعداد زیاد شخصیت‌ها بود. اینکه یه نمایش تقریباً مدرن چهار پرده‌ای این همه شخصیت داشته باشه چیزیه که از آثار چخوف دیده بودم و جلوتر دیدم که شیوه‌ روایت هم کم و بیش به آثار چخوف شباهت داره.

شخصیت‌ها نسبتاً زیاد که دارن با هم راجع به مسائل عادی زندگیشون

أربعة نجوم للمسرحية الباهرة , و مثلهما للمترجم القدير.
أصابتنى فى البداية بالخلط لظهور كل الأبطال دفعة واحدة , و لكنى ما إن توغلت بين صفحاتها حتى جذبتنى تماما.
رغم مآساوية الأحداث إلا أننى تابعتها بشغف, يشير إسم المسرحية إلى المرحلة التى وصلت إليها روسيا قبل الثورة, حيث يعيش عشرة أشخاص فى غرفة واحدة

I imagine all lefties in The Middle East or every other place in the world, have read this play once, as a principle ... what I remember of the play now, seems to me a light melodrama story!

زمانی بود که "در اعماق" ماکسیم گورکی را از حفظ بودیم ... هم چنان که "مادر" را و بسیاری از اشعارش را و رمان ها

“Hepimiz insanız!Kendini başkası gibi göstermeye çalışsa da,yaşamda yalpalasa da insan olarak doğan insan olarak ölür!İnsanlara bakıyorum da hepsi daha akıllı,daha ilginç görünme çabasında...herkesten aşağı yaşasalar da,her şeyin en iyisini istiyorlar...”
Pek de bir şey değişmediğini görüyoruz aslınd

العبقريه في المسرحيه دي ، ان مفيش بطل منفرد ، أو حتى حدث محوري بتدور حوله ، الفكرة الرئيسيه هي سرد لمأساة مجموعه من البائسين ، المميز ان المشهد الواحد بتدور فيه كم كبير من الحوارات بين تقريبا كل الأبطال ، وأنا بقرأها كنت عامل زي واحد ف سيرك بيلعب بالطابات ف الهوا ومطلوب منه ميقعوش !
مكنتش عاوز يقع من
