and family, Gorky is known as 1.-The

was a wait and an outcast and lived
wandering life among all sorts Of peo-.
pie as a boy and young man and thus
saw great deal Of the misery preva-
lent among the Russian lower classes.
Maxim Gorky is his pen name, his
real name being Alexei Maximovitch
Pyeshkoff. His birth occurred in 1868
at Mini Novgorod. and his father,
who was very poor. died when his boy
was five years old. Being left to shift
for himself. he was bootblack, scullion
and bakers apprentice. He was so
discouraged at one time that he at
tempted suicide But he was a great
reader and began to write, his first
