In this study, little men in Orhan Kemal's Baba Evi, Avare Yıllar and Cemile and Maxim Gorky's Çocukluğum, Ekmeğimi Kazanırken and Benim Üniversitelerim are compared. This comparison is made by the view points of writers lives and the characteristics of little men (characters of novel). It can bedetermined that both of the writers lived in same social conditions but Orhan Kemal affected by Maksim Gorky because he read Gorky's little men before wrote his novels.
