ZHIZN' I SUD'BA

On its completion in 1960, Life and fate was suppressed by the KGB. Twenty years later, the novel was smuggled out of the Soviet Union on microfilm. At the centre 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 anti-semitism; 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.

  • ""Dans ce roman-fresque, composé dans les années 1950, à la façon de Guerre et paix, Vassili Grossman (1905-1964) fait revivre l'URSS en guerre à travers le destin d'une famille, dont les membres nous amènent tour à tour dans Stalingrad assiégée, dans les laboratoires de recherche scientifique, dans la vie ordinaire du peuple russe, et jusqu'a Treblinka sur les pas de l'Armée rouge"--Publisher's note."
  • "A book judged so dangerous in the Soviet Union that not only the manuscript but also the ribbons on which it had been typed were confiscated by the state, Life and Fate is an epic tale of World War II and a profound reckoning with the dark forces that dominated the twentieth century. Interweaving an account of the battle of Stalingrad with the story of a single middle-class family, the Shaposhnikovs, scattered by fortune from Germany to Siberia, Vasily Grossman fashions an immense, intricately detailed tapestry depicting a time of almost unimaginable horror and even stranger hope. Life and Fate juxtaposes bedrooms and snipers' nests, scientific laboratories and the Gulag, taking readers deep into the hearts and minds of characters ranging from a boy on his way to the gas chambers to Hitler and Stalin themselves."

  • "Tijdens de verschrikkingen van de Tweede Wereldoorlog worden gewone, bange mensen in Rusland verleid tot allerlei kleine, banale vormen van verraad."
  • "Saisi par le KGB en 1960, ce livre n'a survécu que par miracle. Roman-fresque composé dans les années 1950, il fait revivre l'URSS en guerre à travers le destin d'une famille, de Stalingrad assiégée aux laboratoires de recherche scientifique, jusqu'à Treblinka sur les pas de l'Armée rouge."
