Mikhail Sholokhov: And Quiet Flows the Don (2-book set). Printed book.

Mikhail Sholokhov's great novel in a two-book set with a half-jacket. An epic canvas by Mikhail Sholokhov (1905—1984), where personal human tragedies unfold against the backdrop of World War I and the Civil War. Don Cossack farmers are transformed into warrior Cossacks—and their accustomed way of life collapses forever. The Don ceases to be "quiet"—or was it ever truly so? The trials that befall the main character, Grigory Melekhov, are so severe that one wonders: is the author too cruel? To the character, to the reader, to the era? Alas, one cannot excise words from that difficult historical time. And the romantic dramas within it become all the more poignant. How does one find the meaning of life, and what goals should one strive for when losing what is most dear?
