Abstract
Grossman was a war journalist at the battle of Stalingrad, and his monumental novel narrates the vicissitudes of a decisive confrontation. His approach transcends the military fact to present, at the wake of Tolstoy, with foresight and audacity the essence of the two opposing totalitarian regimes and the life of the Russian people in an atmosphere of vigilance and fear.Downloads
