| Summary | "Rippi" by Maksim Gorky is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the life of Matvei, a foundling growing up in a world of hardship and struggle, as he navigates through love, loss, and the complexities of human morality. The novel delves into themes of social justice, spirituality, and the search for identity, framed within Matvei's encounters with various characters who shape his understanding of life. The opening of "Rippi" introduces Matvei's early childhood experiences, beginning with his abandonment as an infant at the gates of a mansion, where he is discovered by a gardener named Danila. Matvei is subsequently taken in by an eccentric old man named Larion, who loves animals and finds solace in song, living a life filled with joy amidst poverty. Through Larion's mentorship, Matvei learns about compassion and the essence of humanity. The initial chapters depict Matvei's struggles with identity and his yearning for acceptance in a world that often ostracizes him, setting the stage for a poignant exploration of survival, spirituality, and the pursuit of personal truth.
