Mother
Mother | Maxim Gorky
THE BEST-LOVED NOVEL of One of the Worlds Great Writers Mother, the immortal classic of Maxim Gorky, one of the worlds best-loved writers, is the story of the radicalization of an uneducated woman. From her dull peasant existence into active participation in her peoples struggle for justice. Through her work she frees herself from the cowed state into which she has been beaten, and her simple motherly concern for her son becomes a motherly concern for all oppressed. To read Mother is to undergo a great emotional experience. It is a novel of strength and power, a tribute to the dignity of the individual. As one well-known literary critic puts it: and then I came on Mother, the first of Gorky I had ever seen, and much of what I had read became thin and tasteless by comparison. It was tapestry after cotton and burlap, living, breathing people after cardboard cutouts... it was the hope and zeal of all human beings.

Happiness always look small while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, and you learn at once how big and precious it is.

On the plus side I'm consistently awake early enough that I can safely add a third novel on @SerialReader

Qemorio I'm behind on my Serial Reader book right now due to working too much. 🙁 8y
BookishTrish Sorry to hear that @Qemorio Hopefully things settle down soon. 8y
DreesReads I was up to 3 books and am now sticking with one. 3 affects my regular reading, and I really do prefer regular books. 8y
BookishTrish @AudreyMorris I'm not sure I have a preference, but I do find that if I turn on a light in the night someone else inevitably wakes up, so phone reading it is! 💤💤💤 8y
DreesReads @BookishTrish I have been known to read ahead because it's what I have! Works great for me🙂 8y
