Twenty years later, the novel was smuggled out of the Soviet Union on microfilm. At the center of this epic novel looms the battle of Stalingrad. Within a world torn apart by ideological tyranny and war, Grossman's characters must work out their destinies. Chief among these are the members of the Shaposhnikov family-- Lyudmila, a mother destroyed by grief for her dead son; Viktor, her scientist-husband who falls victim to antisemitism; and Yevgenia, forced to choose between her love for the courageous tank-commander Novikov and her duty to her former husband. Life and fate is one of the great Russian novels of the 20th century, and the richest and most vivid account there is of what the Second World War meant to the Soviet Union. 580 Donation of Anatole Shub 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |vFiction. 651 Russia (Federation) |xVolgograd |vFiction. 880 |6245 942 |2ddc |cBK 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6891_730000000000000_42_GRO |70 |8GEN |9160752OSA |bOSA |d2022-09-06 |eShub |l0 |o891.73/42 GRO |r2022-09-06 |w2022-09-06 |yBK |cGeneral Stacks 920 01 7XL50dYL 992 01 891_730000000000000_42_GRO |bRQY_SWZZZZZZZZZZZZZ_VX_J8B 966 |cIn the Research Room
