Quiet Don set of 2 books

The epic canvas of Mikhail Sholokhov 1905–1984, where personal human tragedies unfold against the backdrop of World War I and the Civil War. Don Cossacks-farmers turn into warrior Cossacks — and the familiar way of life is forever shattered. The Don ceases to be quiet, and was it ever like that? The trials faced by the main character Grigory Melikhov are so heavy that one wonders — is the author too cruel? To the hero, to the reader, to the era. Alas, words cannot be deleted from that difficult historical time. And the love dramas in it become even more poignant. How to find the meaning of life, what goals to strive for, if you lose the most precious thing? The great novel by Mikhail Sholokhov — in a set of two books.
