Description
In 2018, it marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of Maxim Gorky, the great Russian writer, prose author, and playwright—an icon of the 20th century.
Maxim Gorky is the literary pseudonym of Alexey Maksimovich Peshkov (16 [28] March 1868 — 18 June 1936). Gorky made an outstanding contribution to Russian and world culture. Among the first, he described “another” Russia—a country of people belonging to the lowest social strata. For the reading public, he opened a world unlike most of the worlds created by 19th-century writers. Gorky was a “romantic of the bottom.” He supported the Bolsheviks, but at first he was skeptical about the October Revolution. Later, he petitioned the Bolsheviks on behalf of those arrested and sentenced to death. He is considered the founder of the method of socialist realism in literature.
Listen to the audio version of one of Maxim Gorky’s strongest works. The novel “Mother” was written in 1906 during his journey to the United States. The book has been translated into virtually all major languages and remains relevant to this day. This work is an ode to fighting fear and overcoming it; it’s the story of how a person with a resurrected soul finds fearlessness.
