The Fate of a Man

On the verge of truth, openly and honestly about the true everyday face of war in the trenches, at the crossings, in moments of respite from military actions, when personal aspects of each soldier's and officer's fate were revealed, and - in the chapters "They fought for the Motherland" - the story of two intersecting fates - a soldier and a boy in the war - in "The Fate of a Man" - by Nobel Prize laureate Mikhail Sholokhov. A large-scale yet concise canvas about the fate of the Russian soldier in "The Fate of a Man" and at the same time the fate of a child in war is conveyed in such a way that it is unlikely anyone could hold back even a single tear.
