Few books in the world have had such a truly vast number of readers as "Mother" or have had such a direct and powerful influence on millions of human lives. "Mother" was the first book to describe so dramatically and vividly the life of the working class in pre-revolutionary Russia and its struggle against capitalism which resulted in the victory of the Great October Socialist Revolution. "Mother" was first published in an English translation, and not in its Russian original. It was brought out in 1906 in the United States where Gorky emigrated, compelled as he was to leave tsarist Russia where he was subject to continual persecution by the authorities.
