He was also a five-time nominee for the Nobel Prize in Literature.  Around fifteen years before success as a writer, he frequently changed jobs and roamed across the Russian Empire; these experiences would later influence his writing.  Gorky's most famous works were "The Lower Depths" (1902), "Twenty-six Men and a Girl", "The Song of the Stormy Petrel", "My Childhood"," The Mother", "Summerfolk" and "Children of the Sun".  He had an association with fellow Russian writers Leo Tolstoy and Anton Chekhov; Gorky would later mention them in his memoirs.
