'''Description of Artwork:''' Maksim Gor'kii's work earned him the title as the founder of "socialist realism" literature from Lenin and Stalin. His vagrant life as an orphan and his experiences in the Russian intellectual scene are documented in his three-part autobiography.

Most of his books were commentaries on the turbulent Russian political landscape of his time, whether they were fiction or non-fiction, including ''[[Song of the Stormy Petrel]]'' (1901), ''The Lower Depths'' (1902), ''The Confession'' (1908), and ''Untimely Thoughts'' (1917). | '''Description of Artwork:''' Maksim Gor'kii's work earned him the title as the founder of "socialist realism" literature from Lenin and Stalin.
