Product Details

Praise

“Vasily Grossman is the Tolstoy of the USSR.” —Martin Amis
 
“…it is only a matter of time before Grossman is acknowledged as one of the great writers of the 20th century.” —The Guardian
 
“Charming. Grossman digresses as nimbly about the master craftsmen of Russian stoves found in the homes of the high-mountain villagers as he does about the touching customs of a rustic wedding he attended. Living among the Armenians, he witnessed a kind of timeless biblical nobility he conveys with artless simplicity in his own work.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Like history, human nature is open-ended; people are capable of doing evil as much as good…[Vasily Grossman] the writer sought to probe the historical fabric and future potential of his society. Perhaps it’s because of this stance that his work is finding its way back into print…” —The Nation
 
“Vasily Grossman’s writing sneaks up on you, its simplicity building to powerful impressions as he records the small things that occur in people’s lives as they experience – or endure – larger events.” —The Jewish Chronicle
