Produktbeschreibung

"Childhood" ("¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿" or "My Universities" in Russian) is an autobiographical trilogy written by Maxim Gorky, one of the most significant Russian writers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The trilogy consists of three parts: "My Childhood" (1913), "In the World" (1916), and "My Universities" (1923). "My Childhood" is the first part of the trilogy and focuses on Gorky's early years growing up in poverty in the Volga River port city of Nizhny Novgorod (formerly known as Gorky, named in honor of the writer). Gorky vividly portrays the harsh realities of his childhood, including the death of his father, his tumultuous relationship with his mother, and his experiences with poverty and hardship. Despite these challenges, Gorky's writing also captures moments of beauty, wonder, and resilience, highlighting the complex and multifaceted nature of childhood. Throughout "My Childhood," Gorky's narrative style is characterized by its rich descriptions, emotional depth, and keen observation of human nature. The work is often praised for its lyrical prose and vivid depiction of life in late 19th-century Russia. Gorky's exploration of his own childhood serves as a lens through which readers can gain insight into broader themes of social inequality, family dynamics, and the search for personal identity. The subsequent parts of the trilogy, "In the World" and "My Universities," continue Gorky's autobiographical narrative, chronicling his experiences as a young man and his intellectual and artistic development. Together, the three volumes of "My Childhood" offer a compelling portrait of one of Russia's most influential writers and provide valuable insights into the social, cultural, and political landscape of his time.

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.
