Produktbeschreibung

"V mire" (In the World) is a novel written by Maxim Gorky, first published in 1906. It is considered one of Gorky's major works and is a continuation of his exploration of the lives of the Russian working class and the social and political issues of his time. The novel follows the story of Nilovna, a young woman from a peasant background who becomes involved in the revolutionary movement and struggles to find her place in the rapidly changing world of early 20th-century Russia. Through Nilovna's experiences, Gorky delves into themes of social injustice, political activism, and the clash between traditional values and modernity. "In the World" is notable for its vivid portrayal of characters from various social classes and its depiction of the tumultuous events that shaped Russia during the period leading up to the 1905 Revolution. Gorky's novel offers a powerful commentary on the human condition and the struggle for freedom and equality in a society undergoing profound transformation.

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.
