Gorky (a famous writer in the former Soviet Union) refers to Maxim Gorky in general, and his representative works include Haiyan, Mother, Childhood, On Earth, My University and so on.

Gorky's novel Childhood is said to be based on his own experience, but its content may not fully conform to Gorky's real family background. The childhood described in the whole novel can be described as unpleasant. In Gorky's own words, it is "ugly as lead".

Childhood-Earth-My University

Gorky's autobiographical trilogy "Childhood-On Earth-My University" has always been regarded as the personal experience of Gorky's suffering teenagers. Of course, many of these stories are true, but the Russian society Gorky wants to shape in these three novels is not so much the real scene of Russia at that time.

It is better to say that it is a cruel world in the eyes of a person who has experienced an unfortunate childhood and depression and despair. However, these early hardships are real, and so is the despair and helplessness of the teenager. Gorky sometimes tries to hide this after he becomes famous, but this is unnecessary, because suffering is the best nourishment to make a genius.
