| Summary |
"Kolme kertomusta" by Maksim Gorky is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The text explores the lives and struggles of working-class individuals as they navigate through harsh social realities. The stories focus on characters such as factory workers and the downtrodden, portraying their experiences with a blend of realism and deep emotion. The opening of the work introduces a group of bakers who find themselves trapped in a stifling and oppressive environment where they labor under a harsh master. They describe their dull and dreary existence, filled with long hours of monotonous work in a suffocating basement bakery. Despite the grimness of their situation, the workers share a bond that is highlighted in their interactions, particularly when they find joy in singing together during their toiling hours. The narrative also introduces Tanja, a young girl from a neighboring embroidery shop, who serves as a symbol of longing and innocence amidst the workers' despair, hinting at themes of love and yearning in a bleak world.
