My Apprenticeship by Makim Gorky

Maxim Gorky (1868-1936) was sent out into the world at the age of 11 to fend for himself. This second volume of his autobiographical trilogy records his first encounters with the senseless, violent side of Russian society during the later years of the 19th century.

Maxim Gorky (1868 - 1936), imprisoned for his revolutionary efforts and championed by Chekhov, had his first plays presented by the Moscow Art Theater in 1902. 'Gorky is the first in Russia and the world at large to have expressed disgust and loathing for the petty bourgeoisie, and he has done it at precisely the moment when Russia is ready for rebellion,' Chekhov wrote.
