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. The German playwright Bertolt Brecht and his collaborators based their 1932 play '' The Mother'' on this novel. Modern critics consider it possibly the least successful of Gorky's novels, however, they call it Gorky's most important novel written before 1917.
