About This Novel
"Childhood" truly describes Alyosha's painful childhood, and profoundly outlines a vivid picture of the vulgar, selfish, empty and boring Russian petty bourgeoisie in the 19th century. It also shows the simplicity, integrity and hard-working character of the lower class working people. The image of the grandmother created by Gorky in the book is one of the glorious and poetic images in Russian literature.
