4.99 €
In this book you will read the novella "The Fate of Man" and "Don Stories". "The Fate of Man" (1956-1957) - a poignant story about the times of the Great Patriotic War. One of the first works of Soviet literature in which the war is shown truthfully and vividly. Captivity, German concentration camps, escape, return to the front, loss of loved ones, hard postwar time, an attempt to find a soul mate, to escape loneliness. The story was screened by Sergei Bondarchuk, he also played the main role in it - the film of the novice director won the main prize of the Moscow Film Festival in 1959.
"Don Stories" (1924-1926) is a collection of 6 stories describing the events of the Civil War. Although the place of action remains the Don, with its special color and specific Cossack spirit, it is obvious that the events in these short stories can be projected on the whole Russia - the war exposes feelings, it is in such a bloody time, when the boundaries of permissible are erased, it becomes clearer who was able to preserve his dignity and remain a Man, and who was not.
