I'm reading My Childhood for a class, its by Maxim Gorky...
I was just wondering if anybody had any thoughts on it or if they read. Also... what epectations of children are portrayed in the novel.

I realize this post is from 2004 and you have probably long ago finished this class LOL! but just wanted that Maxim Gorky is my favorite Russian writer and the My Autobiography trilogy (which includes My Childhood) was deeply influential on me as a writer.
Out of curiosity, have you read say, Dostoevsky, Gogol or Tolstoy?
“Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””
“If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
Awesome One!
I like Maxim Gorky so much.
