Features: This book is the third installment of Maxim Gorky's famous autobiographical trilogy, where the author describes his life experiences during his youth. From this genuinely recorded narrative, we can see that young Gorky harbored a deep aversion to petty bourgeois habits, an ardent pursuit of freedom, and a strong longing for a better life. His direct contact with the working masses at the bottom of society, his deep immersion in social realities, his exposure to the ideas of revolutionaries, and his insatiable thirst for knowledge gained from books were all crucial conditions that enabled him to grow and ascend from the depths of life to the pinnacle of culture.
