Ostwald provides insights into Gorky’s rise from his humble beginnings to becoming a celebrated figure in literature, highlighting the social and cultural context of his time. The narrative delves into Gorky's childhood, marked by hardship and loss, which laid the foundation for his later literary themes of poverty and resilience. It discusses his early struggles as he navigated life as a vagrant and factory worker before eventually finding his voice as a writer. The book also analyzes Gorky’s literary contributions, including his unique portrayal of marginalized figures, and examines the impact of his liberating ideals on Russian literature and society.
