Summary "A Mãe" by Maksim Gorky is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book is a poignant exploration of the revolutionary movement in Russia, focusing on the life of Pélagué, a mother who undergoes a profound transformation from a submissive, oppressed woman to an active participant in the revolutionary struggle, inspired by her son Pavel. The narrative captures the struggles within the working class and the awakening of class consciousness as the characters grapple with their difficult realities. The opening of "A Mãe" paints a vivid picture of life in an oppressive industrial setting, where workers, weary from their daily toil at the factory, are portrayed in a grim light, caught in a cycle of hardship and violence. Gorky's descriptive language immerses the reader in the bleak atmosphere of the workers' neighborhood, highlighting the dire conditions and grim realities they face. We are introduced to Pélagué and her son Pavel as they navigate their complicated relationship, marked by the father's brutality, societal struggles, and the budding revolutionary spirit within Pavel, which will later inspire Pélagué to awaken her own consciousness and challenge their oppressive circumstances.
