In Gorky's childhood, the hero's names were called' Alexa' and' Alexei' for a while. Why? Say detailed point

In fact, the hero's name is Alexei Skov, Aletha is a nickname (nickname, note in the book), and there are other nicknames, such as Leonia and Leonica. Lacey is short for Alexei.

Alexei Macsimovici is a respectful name, Lek Seica is a nickname for Alexei, and Yika and Shika are affixes expressing intimate relationship. Their terms are determined by relationship, context and etiquette.

Childhood is the first of a trilogy of autobiographical novels based on the experience of Soviet writer Maxim Gorky (the other two are On Earth and My University).

Extended data:

Childhood is a unique autobiography. Different from most autobiographies, it doesn't take heroes as images to create portraits. It is more like a long and colorful oil painting, which restores a period of life of an era and a family.

In this life, there have been many protagonists. Both beauty and ugliness stand in front of readers at the same time, impacting their hearts.

Childhood, with its unique artistic form, profound ideological content and unique artistic characteristics, occupies an important position in the history of Russian and Soviet literature and even the world literature, and has unparalleled artistic value.

In April, 2020, it was included in the junior middle school part of the "Reading Guidance Catalogue for Primary and Secondary School Students (2020 Edition)" of the Basic Education Curriculum and Textbook Development Center of the Ministry of Education.
