Quiet Don (set of two 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.

The Don Cossacks, who are 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 Melekhov are so severe that one questions — is the author too harsh?

To the hero, to the reader, to the era. Alas, you can't erase words from that challenging historical time.

And the love dramas in it become even more piercing.

How can one find the meaning of life, what goals to strive for, if you lose the most precious thing?
