Life and Fate is an epic tale of a country told through the fate of a single family, the Shaposhnikovs. As the battle of Stalingrad looms, Grossman's characters must work out their destinies in a world torn by ideological tyranny and war.Completed in 1960 and then confiscated by the KGB, this sweeping panorama of Soviet Society remained unpublished until it was smuggled into the West in 1980, where it was hailed as a masterpiece.

  • Warriors in aprons and uniforms in homes without walls or roof.

    An extraordinary novel, of an extraordinary size, depth and breadth of a Russian family in the war of 1941-45 between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.
