À propos de cet ebook

In "Mother," Maxim Gorky crafts a poignant and deeply engaging narrative that explores the awakening of political consciousness among the working class in early 20th-century Russia. Through the experiences of Pelageya, a mother who transforms from a simple, uneducated woman into a fervent revolutionary, Gorky employs a realist literary style characterized by vivid imagery and emotional depth. The novel serves as both a personal and collective tale, reflecting the social struggles and burgeoning revolutionary spirit of the time, thereby situating itself within the rich literary tradition of Russian realism and socialist literature. Gorky, born into poverty and firsthand witness to the oppressive conditions faced by the proletariat, draws on his own tumultuous experiences to inform this powerful narrative. His background as an activist and his encounters with various intellectual circles provided him with a unique insight into the socio-political climate of his time, which is palpably reflected in the development of Pelageya's character and her evolving understanding of oppression and solidarity. "Mother" is a compelling read for anyone interested in revolutionary literature, social justice, and the dramatic transformations within human consciousness. Gorky's masterful storytelling and relatable characters make this novel not only a historical document but also an enduring exploration of the human spirit's resilience in the face of adversity.
