Mikhail Sholokhov: Virgin Soil Upturned. Printed book.

Mikhail Alexandrovich Sholokhov is known to many generations of readers as the author of the universally beloved novel "And Quiet Flows the Don," the collection "Tales of the Don," and such works as "They Fought for Their Country," "The Fate of a Man," and "Virgin Soil Upturned." In 1965, the writer was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature "for the artistic power and integrity with which, in his epic of the Don, he has given life to a momentous stage in the history of Russia." The novel "Virgin Soil Upturned" tells the story of the establishment of Soviet power in the harsh Don region. With vivid, dramatic strokes, Sholokhov depicted a turning point in our country's history, when centuries-old foundations and traditions turned to dust, giving way to a new order. An engaging plot, complex characters, and historical authenticity (Sholokhov himself was a witness to many of the events described in the book) allow "Virgin Soil Upturned" to remain among the most famous works of Soviet literature.
