Quiet Don (set of 2 books)

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