Mother

Maxim Gorky was a Russian writer who pioneered the socialist realism literary style of writing. He was a political activist and was highly inspired by the Marxist movement. His magnum opus, *Mother*, is considered to be one of the greatest classics of world literature and has been translated into many languages. It revolves around the story of a hard-working peasant woman who faces domestic assaults by her good-for-nothing husband and has been burdened with the upbringing of her son. A revolutionary tale of the struggles of an uneducated woman, *Mother *raises the suppressed voices of the working-class people and depicts the power of the dignity of an individual. An emotional treat to the soul, the book shows the protective and selfless concerns of a mother for the crushed spirit of her people.
