Book Reviews of Life and Fate (New York Review Books Classics)
Book Review: The most complete picture I know of Stalin's Russia.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the finest books I have translated, a novel of extraordinary depth. Impounded by the KGB and first published twenty years after the author's death, the novel provides a remarkably complete picture of Stalin's Russia. Grossman writes with equal authority about front-line soldiers, the Russian and German high commands, Russian and German concentration camps, academic life and the life of ordinary civilians. The chapters dealing with the holocaust are a moving lament for the whole of European Jewry. One of the great realistic novels of the century. Grossman's gifts are his powers of observation and his compassion.
