Maxim Gorky’s “My Apprenticeship” is a captivating autobiographical work that offers a rare glimpse into the formative years of one of Russia’s most influential writers and social critics. Published in 1916, this book chronicles Gorky’s impoverished childhood and adolescence in the late 19th century, a period marked by social upheaval and the stirrings of revolutionary sentiment. Despite its well-worn exterior, this copy preserves the raw and poignant narrative that has made it a literary classic. Gorky’s vivid depictions of poverty, injustice, and the indomitable human spirit resonated deeply with readers of his time and continue to inspire generations of writers and thinkers today. For collectors and enthusiasts of Russian literature, this volume represents a valuable opportunity to immerse themselves in the personal and political journey of a literary titan whose impact on 20th-century literature and social thought cannot be overstated.
