Vintage books Life and Fate Grossman Vasily
Пронзительную, безысходную правду о жизни людей и мира рассказал в романе-эпопее "Жизнь и судьба" безжалостный и отважный писатель Василий Гроссман • Лучшие герои этой книги неизбежно попадают между двух огней: сражаясь с фашизмом, защищают сталинскую систему, но существенно ли различаются немецкий лагерь и Лубянка?.. Из последних сил люди воюют за свободу и справедливость, но наступят ли они после победы? • История об освободительной войне ради нового рабства вышла из-под пера Гроссмана вопреки осторожности и инстинкту самосохранения: полвека назад роман арестовали, и это укоротило автору жизнь. Сегодня его книга, получившая мировую известность, читается как суровый гимн подлинной свободе - свободе духа, сохранение которой составляет основу человеческого бытия, а утрата означает неизбежную смерть
