Summary "Maxim Gorki" by Hans Ostwald is a literary biography written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and works of the prominent Russian author Maxim Gorky, whose writing embodies the struggles of the lower classes in Russian society. 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. Ostwald presents Gorky as a pivotal figure in the modern literary movement, advocating for a deeper understanding of humanity through the lens of the downtrodden and disenfranchised.
