Summary "Äiti" by Maksim Gorky is a novel written in the late 19th century. It captures the struggles of working-class life in Russia, delving into themes of poverty, familial conflict, and the quest for a better future. The story centers on Pavel Vlasov, a young man determined to break free from the cycle of despair that has plagued his family, particularly in the context of his relationship with his mother. The opening of the novel establishes a bleak and oppressive environment for the working class, as factory whistles signal the start and end of their grueling labor. It introduces Pavel's family background, highlighting an abusive father and a submissive mother who has endured years of hardship. Following the father's death, Pavel's internal conflict escalates as he grapples with his newfound sense of agency and the damaging legacy of his father's violence. The initial chapters portray a world filled with despair yet hint at Pavel's desire for enlightenment and change, setting the stage for his eventual transformation and the novel’s exploration of social consciousness.
