An illustrated eBook. Six iconic episodes illuminate the dense and extensive narrative network of Grossman’s masterpiece.
Many worlds, Many Tones
Voices. In the Stalingrad dilogy, Vasily Grossman recounts the lives of an entire people: farmers, workers, miners, scientists, mothers, women working in factories and in the countryside, girls and boys, orphans… everyone. To capture such a varied world, a variety of tones is employed. The two Stalingrad novels encompass gravitas and solemnity, as well as the entertaining lightness of comedy and the melancholy of love stories. No sentimentality, though! Vasily Grossman’s style is never emphatic, but dry and rigorous.
Young people on the front line
The theme of Soviet youth
The melancholy and gentle story of Lena, a very young nurse on the bloodiest front.
In the fierce fight for the station there is also the sad story of Lena’s love for Kovalyov, a young and brave officer of the XIII Guards Division.
An elegiac tone amidst the ugliness of war.
