«La Madre» is the novel by Maksim Gorki, published by Plutón Ediciones in hardcover (384 pages, in Spanish).
It portrays the lives of Russian workers under the tsarist regime and the violent repression of their attempts to organize. A mother beaten down by life draws closer to her son's activism and ends up sharing the struggle of his comrades, transformed by Marxist doctrine, solidarity, and written propaganda.
It belongs to the Grand Classics Collection of Plutón Ediciones, with a translation from the Russian by Alaric Dukass. In 1926, Soviet cinema adapted the work to the screen.
For readers of Russian literature and historical fiction interested in a classic with political and social undertones.
Alexei Maximovich Peshkov, popularly known as Maxim Gorky, was a Russian and Soviet writer, journalist, and proponent of socialism. He was nominated five times for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Before his success as an author, he travelled widely across the Russian Empire, changing jobs frequently; these experiences would later influence his writing. He associated with fellow Russian writers Leo Tolstoy and Anton Chekhov, both mentioned by Gorky in his memoirs.
