The Great Patriotic War. 1941-1945

An interactive, annotated book of stories and poems dedicated to the Great Patriotic War, in the "Book + Era" series.
The book includes works by L. Kassil, V. Nekrasov, V. Astafiev, V. Berestov, A. Tvardovsky, K. Simonov, and other writers and poets who saw the Great Patriotic War with their own eyes: some sent their fathers to the front, some built pillboxes on Mamayev Kurgan, some boys helped partisans, some entered flaming Berlin in May. Together with them, the reader will traverse the difficult frontline paths: from the first anxious day - forward, to victory.
In the margins of the book, in flaps, and on special historical spreads, there are detailed historical and everyday commentaries on the course of the war, the structure of the Soviet army, military uniforms, weapons, orders, and everyday life at the front, in the rear, in evacuation, and in besieged Leningrad. Authentic items and documents from those years - letters from the front, newspaper essays, military posters, award sheets, and photographs from family archives - will help to see and understand what those years were like for all those touched by the war.
Numerous interactive elements, three-dimensional constructions and inserts, as always in the books of this series, amaze and delight, turning reading into a slow and thoughtful immersion into that era, which is so important to remember.
