Russian writer Aleksei Maksimovich Peshkov (Russian: Алексей Максимович Пешков) supported the Bolshevik revolution of 1917 and helped to develop socialist realism as the officially accepted literary aesthetic; his works include The Life of Klim Samgin (1927-1936), an unfinished cycle of novels.
This Soviet author founded the socialist realism literary method and a political activist. People also nominated him five times for the Nobel Prize in literature. From 1906 to 1913 and from 1921 to 1929, he lived abroad, mostly in Capri, Italy; after his return to the Soviet Union, he accepted the cultural policies of the time.
Uno de los relatos más hermosos que he leído. No estoy segura si es para jóvenes o para adultos, creo que encaja en cualquier categoría porque el amor hacia el resto de la humanidad no se restringe a una edad determinada. Lamentablemente la ceguera y la falta de agradecimiento es universal. Un libro que siempre voy a recomendar.
Cuento de 60 páginas, publicado en 1895. Relato muy hermoso en el que un joven protagonista ayudará a su pueblo a salvarse del exilio y la necesidad. Nos habla de la fortaleza necesaria para afrontar cambios frente a la incertidumbre. Breve, pero precioso. Recomiendo esta lectura del gran autor ruso.
Beautiful short story written by Maxim Gorky about finding the freedom. It’s a story about a tribe who lived in a dark forest and a man who saved them and brought to the light. The story is beautifully written and easy to read.
Μελαγχολικά όμορφο, μια υπέροχη συλλογή από σύντομες ιστορίες που φαντάζουν απλές αλλά κρύβουν μέσα τους πολύπλοκο νόημα. Αν σε κάνει να νιώσεις, ό,τι κι αν είναι αυτό που νιώθεις, τότε έχει πετύχει!
No matter how brave & caring you are... Ppl still dont care, nor value you. But still, a hero remains a hero. Only he has the courage to self sacrifice himself for the masses. No one else would do such a thing!
For some reason I didn't really liked the meaning of the stories in the way that they were given. Maybe a little over dramatic for my taste. Not bad, not good either. Felt mediocre as a book.
