Description:

This is the 2017 Turkish edition of My Universities (Benim Üniversitelerim), published by İlgi Kültür Sanat Yayınları. Written by Maxim Gorky, the work is the final part of his autobiographical trilogy, following My Childhood and In the World.

The book recounts Gorky’s early years as a young man searching for direction, education, and meaning in life. Instead of formal academic study, his “universities” are the people he meets and the harsh experiences he lives through. Working in bakeries, interacting with workers, students, intellectuals, and marginalized individuals, he gains a deep understanding of society and human nature. The narrative emphasizes self-education through experience, hardship, and observation.

Maxim Gorky is one of the most influential Russian writers of the early 20th century, known for his focus on the working class and disadvantaged groups. He played a key role in the development of socialist realism and often portrayed human resilience in the face of poverty and oppression.

This İlgi Kültür Sanat Yayınları edition presents a Turkish translation of Gorky’s autobiographical work, making it accessible to modern readers. As part of his life trilogy, it holds important literary and historical significance.
