Features: My Childhood is not only Maxim Gorky's autobiography of his childhood, not only the life history of a teenager, but also a historical record of the artistic nature of an era, reflecting the disintegration process of the petty bourgeoisie's handicrafts caused by the growth of industrial capitalism in Russia. The bankruptcy of the Kashiin family, the grandfather of Alyosha, is a true portrayal of Russia in the 1870s and 1880s.
