And Quiet Flows the Don
Autor Mikhail Sholokhoven Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 dec 1989
The epic novel of love, war and revolution from Mikhail Sholokhov, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature
An extraordinary Russian masterpiece, And Quiet Flows the Don follows the turbulent fortunes of the Cossack people through peace, war and revolution - among them the proud and rebellious Gregor Melekhov, who struggles to be with the woman he loves as his country is torn apart. Borne of Mikhail Sholokhov's own early life in the lands of the Cossacks by the river Don, it is a searing portrait of a nation swept up in conflict, with all the tragic choices it brings.

Notă biografică
Mikhail Sholokov was born in 1905 in a village in the Don region, of a family that had been living there for many generations. Despite poverty, he was able to attend school in Moscow. At the age of fifteen he returned to his native village to become a schoolteacher, then a statistician, a food inspector, and held various other jobs. He began writing when he was eighteen years old. Today he is the Soviet Union's most famous and widely honored living novelist. And Quiet Flows the Don was published in 1928 in the Soviet Union, and in the United States in 1934. Its sequel, The Don Flows Home to the Sea (available in Vintage Books), was finished in 1939, and appeared in America in 1940. Although each is complete in itself, the two books are often referred to under the title The Silent Don. Other volumes by Sholokov that have been translated into English are Harvest on the Don, Seeds of Tomorrow, and Tales of the Don. In 1965 Mr. Sholokov was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Recenzii
The work of Mikhail Sholokhov represents a new phase in literature and can only be compared with Tolstoy's War and Peace
One of the greatest Russian novels of the 20th century... a deeply humane, epic, utterly compelling portrait of Russia's cataclysmic entrance into the modern age
The finest realist novel about the Revolution
A work of undoubted literary distinction
