Produktbeschreibung

"Three of Them" ("¿¿¿¿" or "Troe" in Russian) is a short story written by Maxim Gorky, first published in 1900. It is one of the earliest works by Gorky and is often considered a precursor to his later more mature writings. In "Three of Them," Gorky explores themes of poverty, desperation, and the human condition. The story follows three destitute individuals-a man, a woman, and a child-as they wander the streets of a Russian city, struggling to survive. Despite their dire circumstances, the trio finds solace in each other's company, forming a makeshift family unit bonded by their shared hardships. Through vivid descriptions and poignant characterization, Gorky portrays the harsh realities of life for the urban poor in late 19th-century Russia. He highlights the resilience and resourcefulness of his characters, as well as the deep bonds of human connection that endure even in the most desperate of circumstances. "Three of Them" is notable for its compassionate portrayal of marginalized individuals and its exploration of the human capacity for empathy and solidarity. It foreshadows many of the themes and concerns that would come to define Gorky's later works, cementing his reputation as one of Russia's foremost literary voices of social conscience.

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.
