My Universities
Maxim Gorky1923
The third volume of the trilogy, published 1923. It records the four years after Alyosha reaches Kazan in the autumn of 1884 hoping to study: wharf labor, nights in a bakery, his wandering between populist students and a Marxist circle, until the 'university' is completed among peasants, vagrants, and secret reading groups. The Russian original and the 1923 Boni & Liveright English translation 'My University Days' (pre-1929 US publication) are in the public domain; the Internet Archive full-view scan is served here as local paginated full text; Chinese translations remain under copyright—guide notes and bibliographic lookup only for Chinese.
