"Childhood, In the World, My University" is an abridged version of the autobiographical trilogy "Childhood," "In the World," and "My University" by the Soviet writer Maxim Gorky (1868-1936). It is one of the most precious treasures in Gorky's literary legacy. In this long autobiographical novel, the author attempts to use his own life experiences and feelings as the main thread to portray a character who struggles to explore the meaning of life, seeks a new path, and is filled with intense inner conflicts. The plot is rich in legendary and fairy-tale elements, and the characters possess extraordinary spiritual strength. The vivid descriptions of scenery and the colorful language create an exuberant artistic effect and a singing-like style of writing.
