Vasily Grossman's Life, Art, and Times
CD-Audio
Publication Date: 26/03/2019
If Vasily Grossman's 1961 masterpiece, Life and Fate, had been published during his lifetime, it would have reached the world together with Pasternak's Doctor Zhivago and before Solzhenitsyn's Gulag. But Life and Fate was seized by the Russian KGB. When it emerged posthumously, decades later, it was recognized as the War and Peace of the twentieth century. Always at the epicenter of events, Grossman (1905-1964) was among the first to describe the Holocaust and the Ukrainian famine. His 1944 article The Hell of Treblinka became evidence at the Nuremberg trials. Grossman's powerful antitotalitarian works liken the Nazis' crimes against humanity with those of Stalin.
