Mother (Gorky Novel)
''Mother'' (russian: Мать, Mat') is a novel written by Maxim Gorky in 1906 about revolutionary factory workers. It was first published, in English, in ''Appleton's Magazine'' in 1906, then in Russian in 1907. Although Gorky was highly critical of the novel, the work was translated into many languages, and was made into a number of films.

Modern critics consider it possibly the least successful of Gorky's novels, however, they call it Gorky's most important novel written before 1917.

The Mothers
The Mothers of Invention (also known as The Mothers) was an American rock band from California. Formed in 1964, their work is marked by the use of sonic experimentation, innovative album art, and elaborate live shows. Originally an R&B band called the Soul Giants, the band's first lineup included Ray Collins, David Coronado, Ray Hunt, Roy Estrada, and Jimmy Carl Black. Frank Zappa was asked to take over as the guitarist following a fight between Collins and Coronado, the band's original saxophonist/leader. Zappa insisted that they perform his original material, and on Mother's Day in 1965, changed their name to the Mothers. Record executives demanded that the name be changed, and so "out of necessity," Zappa later said, "we became the Mothers of Invention." After early struggles, the Mothers earned substantial popular commercial success. The band first became popular playing in California's underground music scene in the late 1960s. With Zappa at the helm, it was signed to j ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
