And Quiet Flows the Don

Wonderful Insightful story
Wonderful story, I read the Stephen Garry translation. His translation seemed to read very easy, though not being a Russian speaker I can not speak for the accuracy of the translation. Several other reviewers mentioned poor reproductions but that was not the case for this edition. The author was a Soviet apparatchik, and wrote during the Stalin era so in general the Bolsheviks are on the correct side of history. However, he does go into a lot of the horrors of revolution including describing the emotional effect of the nightly murders perpetrated by a Bolshevik character. In general the story while detailing life for the cossacks in the early 20 th century, does present strong anti war themes, as most characters, at least in the lower or "grunt" level express remorse on their actions. I highly recommend this book, and for Russian writing it is a rather easy, though compelling read. As an aside it has rather short chapters which lends itself to short reading times.

And quiet flows thw Don
AND QUIET FLOWS THE DONSe trata de una "prueba de imprenta" o algo así, llena de errores y muy difícil de leer. Debería advertirse antes de efectuar la compra.

And Quiet Flows the Don.
Superfluo recensire l'opera, scritta da un premio Nobel. Oggetto in condizioni conformi alla descrizione (se possibile, anche superiori alle aspettative trattandosi di un libro usato). Spedizione nei termini. Transazione perfetta.
