About the author

Russian writer Aleksei Maksimovich Peshkov (Russian: Алексей Максимович Пешков) supported the Bolshevik revolution of 1917 and helped to develop socialist realism as the officially accepted literary aesthetic; his works include The Life of Klim Samgin (1927-1936), an unfinished cycle of novels.

This Soviet author founded the socialist realism literary method and a political activist. People also nominated him five times for the Nobel Prize in literature. From 1906 to 1913 and from 1921 to 1929, he lived abroad, mostly in Capri, Italy; after his return to the Soviet Union, he accepted the cultural policies of the time.

Maravilhoso. Escritor esquecido. Infelizmente.

Regalo de Inés, mi madre a los 9 años...la volví a leer a los 19 y luego a los 29...es coincidencia. A la médula, sin contemplaciones: deben leerlo y disfrutar su mordaz disección de los lazos familiares, todos, no sólo con la progenitora;-)
