About this listen

In the World is the second instalment of Maxim Gorky’s autobiographical trilogy. Published in 1916, the book depicts Gorky’s experiences as a young adult, portraying his encounters with an array of characters from different social classes and conveying his observations of society at large. Gorky skilfully depicts the struggles, dreams and complexities of the lower classes, highlighting the social inequalities prevalent in Russia during the later 19th century.

This audiobook offers a fascinating account of the young Gorky’s life, his experiences with poverty, his political beliefs and his journey as a writer, providing a vivid depiction of the social and political climate of pre-revolutionary Russia.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I have read Gorky’s in the world or my apprenticeship many a times. This is the first time I used audible to listen to it. Really enjoyed it and wish the narrator also narrates Gotky’s “my Universities”

A great life and great storytelling
