«Por el mundo» is the autobiographical novel by Maxim Gorky, published by Zero in paperback (342 pages, in Spanish).
Alekséi, the author's young alter ego, leaves childhood behind and faces the adult world, jumping from trade to trade: shoemaker's apprentice, kitchen helper on a ship transporting prisoners to Siberia, servant and icon seller. Among wretched and admirable characters alike, he discovers life's harshness and his refuge in literature.
Second part of Gorky's autobiographical series, translated from the Russian by A. Herráiz; part of the Se Hace Camino al Andar Collection, Series S, no. 36.
For readers of Russian classics and coming-of-age stories who want a glimpse into the youth of one of the great names of Russian literature.
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.
