Mikhail Sholokhov: And Quiet Flows the Don

Mikhail Sholokhov’s epic novel "And Quiet Flows the Don" is one of the most significant, large-scale, and talented works of Russian literature, which earned the author the Nobel Prize. The novel is set against the backdrop of the most important events in the history of Russia in the first half of the 20th century — the revolution and the civil war, which changed not only the ancient way of life of the Don Cossacks, to which the protagonist Grigory Melekhov belongs, but also the fate and appearance of the entire country. This grand work contains almost everything that fiction can offer a reader: great historical realities, love intrigues, descriptions of the everyday life of long-vanished ways of living, and numerous heroic and tragic events created with great artistic power and skill, which is all the more striking given that Mikhail Sholokhov had not yet turned thirty when he wrote the first part of the novel.
