A Mãe by Maksim Gorky
"A Mãe" by Maksim Gorky is a novel written in 1906 about revolutionary factory workers in Russia. The story follows Pelageya Nilovna Vlasova, a woman enduring harsh factory labor and poverty, whose son Pavel abandons his father's drinking habits to pursue revolutionary activities. Though initially cautious and politically unaware, Nilovna's maternal devotion leads her to overcome her ignorance and join the movement. Based on real events, the novel blends socialist ideals with
biblical imagery, portraying revolutionaries as martyrs willing to sacrifice for truth and justice. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
