About the author

Maksim Gorky

1868–1936

A self-taught writer who rose from deep poverty to become one of Russia’s most influential literary voices, he brought workers, wanderers, and outsiders to the center of modern fiction. His stories and plays helped shape socialist realism, but they also carry a raw sympathy for people struggling to survive.
