Childhood" (Детство) is the first installment of Maxim Gorky's world-renowned autobiographical trilogy, capturing the raw, vivid, and deeply human portrait of young Alexei Peshkov growing up in late 19th-century Russia. Through a harsh yet compassionate lens, Gorky recounts his early years living under his stern grandfather's roof, offset by the profound warmth and wisdom of his beloved grandmother.
Published in Moscow by Progress Publishers, this vintage collectible features a elegant forest-green cloth binding adorned with gilt lettering along the spine and a gold tulip emblem on the front cover. The edition is enriched with classic full-page black-and-white narrative illustrations capturing key moments from Gorky's childhood.
