«Samovar» is a children's story by Maxim Gorky, published by Ediciones Gaviota in paperback (60 pages, in Spanish).
In this story by Maxim Gorky, a samovar, the traditional Russian utensil for making tea, is the protagonist of a tale about pride and presumption. The narrative combines prose and rhyme with a playful tone, which encourages reading aloud and dramatizing the story.
The title belongs to the Gaviota junior collection. The edition includes illustrations by Violeta Monreal, translation by Susana Madroñero, and was awarded the 4th Prize from the Ministry of Culture for the best-edited book in 1993.
It is recommended for young readers aged 8 and up; the interplay between prose and rhyme lends itself to reading aloud and dramatization.
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.
