About the book: 1972 / The novel "The Fruits of Winter", the Russian translation of which lies before the reader, completes Clavel's tetralogy "The Great Patience". The writer dedicated his work “to the memory of those mothers and fathers whose names History has not preserved, for they were quietly killed by hard work, love or war.” And it is quite justified that Julien Dubois, the main character of the previous parts of the tetralogy, faded into the background here and, in essence, turned into an episodic figure... Goncourt Prize 1968.
