Childhood is the first of Gorky's autobiographical novel trilogy based on his own experience (the other two are On Earth and My University). It tells the story of Aletha (Gorky's real name)' s childhood life from three to ten years old, vividly reproduces the living conditions of the lower class people in the Soviet Union from 65438 to 2009, and writes Gorky's understanding of suffering and unique views on social life. There is endless desire and strength between the lines.
