മാക്സിംഗോര്‍ക്കിയുടെ “അമ്മ ” ഒരു പുനര്‍വായന -പ്രൊഫ്‌ .എം.കെ.സാനു

The Mother is considered to be the only long work of Gorky on the Russian revolutionary movement; however, of all his novels, it is possibly the least successful.[1] Nevertheless, it remains the best known work of Gorky among the author’s other important novels.[2] While on a trip to the United States in 1906, he wrote the novel. The political agenda behind the novel was clear. In 1905, after the defeat of Russian’s first revolution, Gorky tried to raise the spirit of the proletarian movement by conveying the political agenda among the readers through his work. He was trying to raise spirit among the revolutionaries to battle the defeatist mood.[2]
