Author Maxim Gorky

Narrator Viktor Zolotonog

The audiobook of the first part of Maxim Gorky’s trilogy “Childhood” will tell the listener part of the author’s autobiography — memories of his early childhood spent in his grandfather’s house in Nizhny Novgorod. The writer characterizes this time as “a thick, motley, unimaginably strange life,” a mixture of kindness and malice, beauty and unclean thoughts, mercy and cruelty, all-consuming selfless love and hatred…
A real saga of ordinary family life, with images and characters of extraordinary strength, deep personal feelings, and accurate everyday life snapshots helps us understand how the future fate of the boy is formed.
