Sholokhov's book introduces the reader to a New World that is not merely the Don Region, but the world of the author's inimitably poetic prose; giving fifteen years of his life to the creation of And Quiet Flows the Don. He began the first book at the age of twenty, in 1926. The last was finished in 1940. While Leo Tolstoys novel War and Peace (1863-69) immortalized the Napoleonic campaigns to the eve of the Decembrist revolt, And Quiet Flows the Don showed the destruction of the Cossacks and the birth of a new society.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Fate of a Man'Book summary:There is restraint and a trace of sadness in the way Mikhail Sholokov begins his story, as if to warn the reader that it is not an easy tale he has to tell. One postwar spring the author met a tall man with stooping shoulders and big rugged hands. And perhaps for the first and last time soldier Andrei Sokolov told a chance acquaintance the story of his life, told how he endured tortures and sufferings that would have broken many a man of weaker nature... But Sokolov's torn and wounded heart is still eager for life and eager to share life with his little Vanya, orphaned by the war like himself. Sholokov's The Fate of a Man ends on a stern note. Yet as one closes the book one believes that Andrei Sokolov will give all the strength of his generous Russian soul to his adopted son and that the boy will grow at his father's side into another man who can overcome any obstacle if his country calls upon him to do so.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Hate And Down South: Two Stories'Book summary:This book does not claim to be a representative collection, with delegates from each of the numerous republics that make up the Soviet Union. It is merely a friendly meeting of a group of writers, each of whom introduces his own subject.
Mikhail Sholokhov, a Russian author of world fame, tells about the fate of a man, while Yon Drutsa, a young Moldavian writer, gives a gently humorous portrayal of his industrious and buoyant countrymen.
The Lithuanian Petras Cvirka and the Estonian Eduard Vilde, the Uzbek Abdullah Kahhar and the Abkhazian Mikhail Lakerbai offer glimpses of the recent past of their republics, while the Armenians Derenik Demirjyan and Aksel Bakounts consider life from the philosophical angle.
Yury Rytkheu, a young Chukchi from the Far North, writes in the straightforward, ingenuous manner typical of his people, while Andrejs Upits, veteran Lettish author, whose eightieth birthday was celebrated not so long ago, resorts to the grotesque.
Love and duty, war and peace, the clash between new and old psychology, and the local color of the various republics, are dealt with in one way or another.
As a whole the collection gives a fair idea of some aspects of life in pre-revolutionary Russian and the Soviet Union. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Virgin Soil Upturned'Book summary:Mikhail Sholokhov is rightly considered both in his own country and abroad the foremost Soviet novelist of his generation.
Born in 1905, in a working Cossack family, Sholokhovs most impressionable years were those of the Russian Revolution and Civil War, which he had described with penetrating insight.
In 1926, he began his great epic of the Civil War And Quite Flows the Don, and , to use his own words, found himself as a writer in that arduous and joyful creative work . And Quite Flows the Don was completed in 1940. The first book of Virgin Soil Upturned came out in 1932. The second was competed in 1960. In 1957 Sholokhov wrote a story, The Fate of a Man, which has become world famous. Also, he was working on They Fought for Their Country, a novel about Soviet people in the Second World War. Sholokhov is truly a writer of the people. His books have been printed in more than thirty-two million copies and translated into sixty-four languages.
Through the scene is set in a small Cossack village, Sholokhovs scope is no less great than in his other work, for the fate of his characters is the fate of a whole nation undergoing the greatest social revolution in its history.
A process of change had been set afoot that was to spread into every corner of Cossack life. Outworn traditions and habits were swept aside, personalities and ideas that had taken generations to form were either broken or made anew and all this in the face of bitter opposition from those who could not or would not change.
With a telling humanity Sholokhov depicts the faults and strivings, the suffering and laughter both of the fighters for progress with whom he himself has such deep ties, and their opponents.
This book has a fundamental message for those who wish to understand the stresses and strains of Soviet life from the 1930's to the present day. [via]
