    About the book: 1968 / 198 volume of BVL. Mikhail Sholokhov's epic novel “Quiet Don” is one of the most significant, large-scale and talented works of Russian-language literature, which brought the author the Nobel Prize (1965). The action of the novel takes place against the backdrop of the most important events in the history of Russia in the first half of the 20th century - the revolution and the Civil War, which changed not only the ancient way of life of the Don Cossacks, to which the main character Grigory Melekhov belongs, but also the fate and appearance of the entire country. In this grandiose work, there was a place for almost all the most fascinating things that fiction can offer the reader: here are great historical realities, love affairs, and descriptions of long-vanished ways of life, numerous heroic and tragic events created with great artistic power and skill, all the more astonishing because Mikhail Sholokhov was just over twenty years old at the time of creating the first part of the novel. This volume includes the first two books of the novel. Introductory article by B. Emelyanov. Illustrations by O. Vereisky.
