My University is the last autobiographical novel trilogy of life written by Gorky, a former Soviet writer. The other two are childhood and the earth. The author described his life experience when he was young. From this true record, we can see that Gorky hated the habits of ordinary citizens in his youth, pursued freedom enthusiastically, yearned for a better life strongly, had direct contact with the working people at the bottom of life, went deep into society, accepted the influence of revolutionary ideas, and eagerly learned knowledge from books, which made him grow up and climbed to the peak of culture from the bottom of life.
Maxim Gorky (1868- 1936) is the founder of Soviet literature and an outstanding representative of Russian literature in the 20th century. Gorky, formerly known as Alexei Macsimovici Peter Skov, was born in a carpenter's house on the Volga River. When he was a child, his parents died and he lived in his grandfather's house, which opened a small dye house. Later, his grandfather went bankrupt, and ten-year-old Alexei wandered around the society, doing odd jobs. Although he has only been in primary school for two years, he has always insisted on diligent self-study and read a lot of books. In addition, he had extensive contact with social life and accumulated rich materials, which eventually made him a world-famous writer.
Gorky's first novel Markard Cudla was published in 1892. Fermat Goyle Deyev (1899) is Gorky's first novel.
