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 (1868 - 1936), primarily known as Maxim Gorky, was a Russian and Soviet writer, a founder of the socialist realism literary method and a political activist. He was also a five-time nominee for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Around fifteen years before success as a writer, he frequently changed jobs and roamed across the Russian Empire; these experiences would later influence his writing. Gorky's most famous works were The Lower Depths (1902), Twenty-six Men and a Girl, The Song of the Stormy Petrel, My Childhood, The Mother, Summerfolk and Children of the Sun. He had an association with fellow Russian writers Leo Tolstoy and Anton Chekhov; Gorky would later mention them in his memoirs. Gorky was active with the emerging Marxist social-democratic movement. He publicly opposed the Tsarist regime, and for a time closely associated himself with Vladimir Lenin and Alexander Bogdanov's Bolshevik wing of the party. For a significant part of his life, he was exiled from Russia and later the Soviet Union. In 1932, he returned to USSR on Joseph Stalin's personal invitation and died there in June 1936.
