Overview
Maxim Gorky, the founder of social realism, was a Russian writer who pioneered literary style through his magnum opus, Mother. It is the story of the radicalization of an uneducated, hard-workingpeasant woman who faces domestic assaults by her husband. Mother raises the suppressed voicesof the working-class people and depicts the power of dignity of an individual. Written in 1906, thebook still stirs the emotional journey to the soul, showing the protective and selfless concerns of amother for the crushed spirit of her people.
Born of the people, and having experienced in his own person their sufferings and their misery, hewas enabled by his extraordinary genius to voice their grievances and their aspirations in the bookthat has stood the test of time.
