Features: This is the autobiographical trilogy of Gorky's famous novels. Through the author's reflection on his life and fate during his childhood, youth, and young adulthood, it portrays the growth of a generation against the backdrop of a vast era. He is always humble and reluctant to elaborate on himself, yet we effortlessly grasp the image of Alisa, who constantly pursues. Whether in short stories or long novels, Gorky consistently links the noble qualities of ordinary people with profound disasters, expressing their joys and sorrows, and depicting their boundless spiritual world. Why do the autobiographical trilogy (Childhood, In the World, and My University) remain long-lasting and immortal in people's hearts, inspiring them to strive for a better tomorrow? Here, it is best to answer with Gorky's own words: "The task of literature is to reveal the good, the beautiful, and the honest—the noble—in people, to inspire their sense of pride and responsibility. The era of heroism has arrived. People must draw strength from the soul and body of heroes. This trilogy is a work from Gorky's mature period in terms of art. The author depicts his surrounding world through the eyes of a growing child. Gorky is always humble and reluctant to elaborate on himself, yet he gives readers an image of a stubborn, compassionate, and ever-pursuing Alisa, reflecting Gorky's unparalleled insight into the lives of the working class in Russia and his exceptional talent for character development."
