«La Madre» is the novel by Maxim Gorky, published by Alba in 1999 in paperback (374 pages, in Spanish).
Set in tsarist Russia, the work follows a mother who, after her son's arrest for political activities, becomes involved in the revolutionary movement. The novel portrays the harsh conditions of workers and the role of Marxist doctrine, and shows how solidarity among the oppressed transforms the protagonist.
The work belongs to Alba's Grandes Clásicos collection and was originally published in Russian in 1906.
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.
