Produktbeschreibung
Maxim Gorky was a Russian writer who pioneered the socialist realism literary style of writing. He was a political activist and was highly inspired by the Marxist movement. His magnum opus, Mother, is considered to be one of the greatest classics of world literature and has been translated into many languages. It revolves around the story of a hard-working peasant woman who faces domestic assaults by her good-for-nothing husband and has been burdened with the upbringing of her son. A revolutionary tale of the struggles of an uneducated woman, Mother raises the suppressed voices of the working-class people and depicts the power of the dignity of an individual. An emotional treat to the soul, the book shows the protective and selfless concerns of a mother for the crushed spirit of her people.
Autorenporträt
Alexei Maximovich Peshkov, better known as Maxim Gorky, was a renowned Russian and Soviet writer and a strong advocate for socialism. Born on March 28, 1868, in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, he became one of the most prominent figures in Russian literature during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Gorky's works often reflected his deep concern for the oppressed and his belief in social justice, which made him a leading figure in the socialist movement. His literary contributions include novels, plays, and short stories that critiqued social inequality and the human condition. Gorky was nominated five times for the Nobel Prize in Literature, a testament to his influence and the impact of his writing. His personal life included a marriage to Yekaterina Peshkova, from 1896 to 1903, though he later separated from her. Maxim Gorky spent his later years in Gorki-10, Russia, where he died on June 18, 1936, at the age of 68. His legacy as a writer and a proponent of socialist ideals continues to be a significant part of Russian literary history.
