Gorky M.
The Mother
Аннотация
Inspired by real events and centring on the figure of
Pelageya Vlasova - the "mother" of the title - and her
son Pavel, Gorky's masterpiece describes the brutal
life of ordinary Russian factory workers in the years
leading to the 1905 Revolution and explores the rise
of the proletariat, the role of women in society and
the lower classes' struggle for self-affirmation. "A
book of the utmost importance", in the words of Lenin,
and a landmark in Russian literature, The Mother -
here presented in a brilliant new version by Hugh
Aplin, the first English translation in almost a
century - will enchant modern readers both for its
historical significance and its intrinsic value as a
work of art.
