Ana

Main Book Description Maxim Gorki's immortal work, Mother, which is the most read in the world and translated into almost all languages, is one of the most important examples of the social realist literature genre. Ana tells the stories of people who took a revolutionary path and struggled to change the conditions of factory workers and villagers, from the perspective of a woman, a mother. Ana is the story of how a modest woman who was exposed to decades of violence by her husband, at a time when the labor movement was just burgeoning, turned into a passionate revolutionary. By telling the revolution from a woman's perspective, Maxim Gorki gives the following message to the world: The revolution was not something brought by men alone; Women's struggle was a powerful and valuable factor that enabled the movement to succeed. Preferring a simple narrative, Gorky chose his characters from peasants and workers, aiming to make the revolution clearer and easier to understand by these groups. For over a hundred years, Ana has been telling people about the importance of fighting for a better life. (From the Promotional Bulletin)
