The three friends

Maxim Gorky is the author of one of the important shifts in the history of Russian literature. He lived close to all people, loving culture in its broad and loose sense, so he traveled throughout Russia in order to get to know the human being, the human being who was the beginning of all his great works without exception, which Tolstoy considered among the most important literary works in Europe.
Chekhov described Gorky as a very talented writer, and as an exceptional writer who came exactly "at the right time." His works expressed the contradictions of reality, the concerns of the toilers, the human aspirations, and the buried hopes of the Russian people in the era in which he lived. It was this era that glorified the person and literature of Maxim Gorky and won him... Huge popularity.
The novel "The Three Friends" is clear evidence of an important stage in the development of Gorky's writing. He even once wrote wishing that this novel would reach all people.
