Djela #16: Djetinjstvo

Maksim Gorki

The first part of Gorky's autobiographical trilogy, published in 1913, depicts the author's difficult upbringing under the Tsarist regime. The book follows Alexei Peshkov (real name Maxim Gorky) from his early childhood to his teenage years.

After his father's death, his mother leaves him with his grandparents, where he experiences physical and emotional abuse. His grandfather is strict and cruel, while the only warmth and understanding he receives is from his grandmother, a woman filled with stories and folk wisdom. In this harsh environment, Alexei faces injustice, poverty, and violence, but at the same time develops strength and a desire to learn.

Throughout the novel, Gorky describes 19th-century Russian society, with an emphasis on class differences and the position of ordinary people. The work is rich in rich descriptions and vivid characters, depicting the cruelty and brutality of the world in which he grew up.

"Childhood" is a powerfully emotional work that explores broader social and political issues through a personal story, announcing Gorky's later social engagement.
