Maksim Gorky was a Soviet author and founder of the socialist
realism literary method. He was also a political activist who spent
several lengthy stays in Capri and Italy. Gorky traveled throughout
his native land and at one point became friends with Lenin. His
travels overwhelmed him with the vastness and beauty of his country
and they also made him sharply aware of the ignorance and poverty
of its people. This novel tells the story of the common proletariat
who protested against the czar and the capitalists which eventually
led to the October Revolution. Pelageya is the wife on a factory
worker who ignores the political upheaval in her country in favor
of caring for her personal life. She represents hundreds of workers
who are concerned with living their lives. Her son Pavel takes a
different path and joins the revolution inspiring many Russians who
were living under a capitalistic society in Russia. Gorky saw the
"mother country" as supporting her children as they fought for
their rights. .
