Summary "Kolme ystävystä I" by Maksim Gorky is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the lives of three central characters, Antipa Lunjeff, and his two sons, Jaakko and Terenti, exploring themes of isolation, moral struggle, and the harsh realities of life in rural Russia. It delves into their experiences and the societal pressures they face following the death of their father, as they navigate their own paths through personal challenges and family dynamics. The opening of the novel presents a vivid and somber portrayal of Antipa Lunjeff, a reclusive peasant who retreats into the forest for eight years after a life of sin, seeking redemption. As Antipa dies, the narrative shifts to his two sons. Jaakko, the older brother, is a rebellious figure with a troubled relationship with alcohol and authority, while Terenti, the younger brother, is more introverted and burdened by his family's reputation. The poignant tone is set as the narrative explores their lives after the father’s death, touching on themes of despair and longing for a better life, contrasting their father’s isolation with their own struggles for identity and purpose in a difficult world.
