Life and Fate
by Vasily Grossman
Routinely lauded as the Twentieth Century's War and Peace, Life and Fate is perhaps the most unremittingly serious book in our Russian book list. Grossman's epic panorama of the Second World War, the Holocaust and Stalin's postwar campaign of antisemitism is uncompromising in its realism and often harrowing in its depiction of the brutalities of battle and genocide. His faith in the power of human love and persistence, however, is palpable on every page.
