Russian writer Aleksei Maksimovich Peshkov (Russian: Алексей Максимович Пешков) supported the Bolshevik revolution of 1917 and helped to develop socialist realism as the officially accepted literary aesthetic; his works include The Life of Klim Samgin (1927-1936), an unfinished cycle of novels.

This Soviet author founded the socialist realism literary method and a political activist. People also nominated him five times for the Nobel Prize in literature. From 1906 to 1913 and from 1921 to 1929, he lived abroad, mostly in Capri, Italy; after his return to the Soviet Union, he accepted the cultural policies of the time.

"Και όταν πολυσκέπτεται κανένας απογοητεύεται απ' τη ζωή...Πρέπει ολοένα κανείς να κάνει κάτι [...]Πρέπει να τη δουλεύεις τη ζωή για να μη μουχλιάσει. Κινήσου μέσα στη ζωή από δω από κει όσο το μπορείς και τότε δε θα αηδιάζεις..."

Obrigada , Bernardo <3
Leve e intrigante. Agarrou-me à primeira página.
As descrições do mar e da praia são absolutamente deliciosas.

Kellemes de rövid. Viszont tetszett Malva jelleme. Olyan gondtalan ahogy kezelte a dolgokat, meg ahogy a férfiakkal bánt. Szerjozska nem volt kifejezetten szimpatikus, de érdekes figurának tűnt. Valószínűleg neki volt ,,köszönhető’’ az egész kifejlet.

As descrições da praia são maravilhosas e que vontade que deu de ir pegar um sol e molhar o pé no mar. "E sorriu o mar...." acabou se tornando uma das minhas aliterações favoritas que acontecem no conto inteiro.

The extraordinary depictions of the beauty and vastness of the ocean clash in this brief novella with the inability of the protagonists to lead a peaceful and harmonious life. With little to do except to admire the tides and the gulls, the characters to whom we are introduced seem (apart from drinking) to spend their time threatening and beating their 'friends' and family and being consumed with jealousy and fury. A story that sees a good beating as a sign of love is certainly worth reading!

Od žene čovek ne može pobeći kaogod ni od smrti.
A kada ja tako pogledam u tebe... šta si ti uopšte? Nisi ni mačka, ni riba, ni prica... A ipak od svega toga ima u tebi ponešto.
A ko premišlja, tome se dojadi život... Čovek treba da uvek ponešto radi, da uvek bude među svetom... i da mu pokaže da je živ... Život treba češće mešati, kako ne bi zagoreo... Probijaj se kroz njega... pa će ti sve oko tebe izgledati veselo...

Mi primer libro de Gorki, la verdad me sorprendió que un cueto corto pueda haberme atrapado de tal manera, como describe la familia rusa dela época (1897) y las relaciones que en esta se puede dar en el seno de la misma, los personajes son muy interesantes y complejos.
