Originally published in 1913, `My Childhood` is the first volume of Maxim Gorky`s autobiography. Orphaned at an early age, Gorky was brought up in his grandparents` strict household and he ran away at the age of just twelve. His life on the road, undertaking menial jobs in order to survive would have a huge influence on his literary career and worldview. His impoverished and bleak beginnings helped him to better understand and sympathise with the plight of those on the outskirts of society. A powerful novel, with beautiful descriptions of the Russian landscape, and lots of touching moments - this is a fascinating insight into the Russian author. -
