Maxim Gorky (Maxim Gorky,1March 86816-1June 936 18), formerly known as Alexei Macsimovici BeSkof, was a writer, poet, critic, political commentator and scholar in the former Soviet Union.

Gorky's literary creation began with romanticism. Gorky has been exploring the relationship between individual and history all his life, looking for a reasonable social life. The protagonists in his works are often full of fierce inner conflicts, actively participating in revolutionary activities and exploring ways to transform reality.

Gorky was arrested, supervised and exiled by the czar government more than once, but he still carried out his revolutionary and literary activities consistently. Gorky has two conflicting personalities; First, the tragic experience and disappointment of reality that caused alienation in the real society; One is the love for people and society, and the understanding of future idealism.

Gorky, before the first bourgeois-democratic revolution, was full of love and belief in the great proletarian revolutionary cause of Russia-socialism, and he greeted the bright future with great enthusiasm. The writer's creation here describes the miserable life of the working people before the revolution, and expresses his desire to change the reality and his call for the master of a new life in the future.
