One of Gorky's greatest works. It chronicles how the mind of a youth Russia at the time of revolution worked. It's a Universal theme and the end is just as elegant... ( )

Pélagué Nilovna vive na efervescente Rússia pré-revolução. Seu filho, Pavel, operário de uma fábrica, entende que seu tempo exige uma mudança social profunda, o que se apresenta a ele muito cedo. O jovem se aproxima do movimento revolucionário e acaba sendo deportado. Quando isso acontece, sua mãe, que vinha se alinhando aos ideais que motivavam o filho, toma sua parte na luta, em um exercício de força, empatia e humanidade. Uma das obras mais fundamentais da literatura russa, A mãe faz de Górki o romancista de uma nova era, vislumbrada a partir de sua própria experiência. Além da apresentação de Marques Rebelo, esta edição conta com prefácio inédito do escritor e professor com pós-doutorado em literatura russa Flávio Ricardo Vassoler.
