Features: Maxim Gorky is most famous for his autobiographical trilogy Childhood, In the World, and My University. Childhood is the first book in his autobiographical trilogy. In the novel, not only does it recreate various petty bourgeois characters and their life customs, moral concepts, and spiritual realms, but it also portrays a series of characters embodying the wisdom and talent of the working class, widely and profoundly depicting the miserable lives and ideological sentiments of the vast lower-class laborers. Gorky's life spanned the rise, development, and ultimately the establishment of socialist states in the era of the proletarian revolutionary movement. Through his works, the revolutionary struggles of the proletariat are vividly reflected in literature.
