Autoren-Porträt von Maksim Gorky
Maksim Gorky, born Aleksei Maximovich Peshkov on March 28, 1868, in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, emerged as a significant literary figure and proponent of the Socialist realism literary method. His pseudonym, 'Gorky,' translates to 'bitter,' reflective of his perception of life at the lower strata of Russian society. Orphaned at an early age, Gorky's early experiences of hardship informed his writings, infusing them with a blend of personal suffering and an acute awareness of social injustice. His seminal work, 'Orlóff and His Wife: Tales of the Barefoot Brigade,' exemplifies his style, characterized by vivid character portrayals and a critical examination of the human condition under oppressive circumstances. Renowned for his short stories and plays, Gorky's influence extended beyond literature; he played a pivotal role in shaping the cultural landscape of the early Soviet Union. His association with other literary giants like Leo Tolstoy and Anton Chekhov further solidified his standing in Russian literary circles. Gorky's legacy is stained by his complex relationship with the Soviet regime, oscillating between support and disillusionment.
