Features: This book truly describes the author's difficult childhood and reflects some typical characteristics of social life at that time, especially depicting a vivid and lifelike picture of the customs and daily life of the petty bourgeois class in Russia. It not only reveals those "lead-heavy ugly deeds" but also portrays many excellent ordinary people around the author, among whom the image of the grandmother is one of the most brilliant and poetic figures in Russian literature. It is these ordinary people who gave young Gorky a positive influence, helping him develop a character that refuses to submit to ugly phenomena and shaping him into a strong and kind-hearted individual.
