The epic novel by Mikhail Sholokhov "Quiet Flows the Don" is one of the most significant and large-scale works in Russian literature, which brought the author the Nobel Prize and world fame; The novel has been repeatedly filmed and translated into many languages. The first three volumes were published in 1928-1932, when the young author was not even thirty years old, the fourth volume - in 1940. The action of The Quiet Flows the Don takes place against the backdrop of crucial events in the history of Russia - the First World War and the Civil War, which changed not only the ancient way of life of the Don Cossacks, but also the face of the whole country. In the novel, one of the main themes of Sholokhov's creativity was fully expressed - war as a fratricidal slaughter, contrary to human nature. “The protagonist of his works,” Finnish writer Martti Larni wrote about Sholokhov, “is the truth itself… He sees and perceives life as a realistic drama in which humanity plays the main role. This is one of the explanations for his worldwide fame.
