My Childhood – hinnat ja saatavuus

My Childhood is a memoir written by the Russian author Maxim Gorky. The book is a vivid and poignant account of Gorky's early years growing up in poverty and hardship in late 19th century Russia. The memoir covers Gorky's childhood from his birth in 1868 to his teenage years, and is divided into two parts. In the first part, Gorky describes his early childhood in the small town of Nizhny Novgorod, where he was raised by his grandparents after his father abandoned the family and his mother died of cholera. He vividly portrays the poverty and struggle of his early years, as well as the warmth and love of his grandparents. Gorky's descriptions of the people and places he encountered during this time are rich and evocative, and provide a fascinating glimpse into life in 19th century Russia. The second part of the memoir covers Gorky's teenage years, when he left his grandparents' home to live with his father in Kazan. Here, Gorky experienced a different kind of poverty and hardship, as well as the brutality of his father's drunken rages. Despite these difficulties, Gorky remained determined to educate himself and pursue his dreams of becoming a writer. Throughout the book, Gorky's writing is marked by a deep sense of compassion and empathy for the people around him, as well as an unflinching honesty about his own struggles and shortcomings. My Childhood is a powerful and moving memoir that offers a unique perspective on Russian society in the late 19th century, as well as a deeply personal account of one man's journey from poverty and hardship to literary success.
