And Quiet Flows the Don (in 2 pt. Pt. I) (Tikhiy Don. [Roman. V 2 t.]. T. I)

"And Quiet Flows the Don" is a large-scale epic canvas that tells the story of the Don Cossacks during the most controversial and pivotal period in the history of our country – the bloody First World War and the fratricidal Civil War, when, in the words of Sholokhov himself, "in a mortal fight, brother goes against brother, son against father." What was happening in the souls of people during this tumultuous time, how did it happen that the closest and dearest people suddenly found themselves on opposite sides of the barricades and turned into deadly enemies? In terms of the depth of understanding of reality and the astonishing accuracy in the description of characters, this work has few equals. A book that is still talked about and debated to this day!
