Discover the Untold Stories of the Don: A Literary Journey Through Civil War
Delve into the rich, turbulent history of the Don region with Moscow literary scholar Oleg Mramornov’s compelling collection of essays, The Disturbed Steppe: Don Writers Abroad and at Home. This book offers a deep exploration of literature born during the Russian Civil War (1917–1920), focusing on the works of Don natives N.A. Kelin, N.N. Turoverov, R.P. Kumov, and F.D. Kryukov.
Mramornov carefully examines the complex narrative threads that define this unique literary layer, including a thoughtful discussion of Mikhail Sholokhov’s And Quiet Flows the Don and the famous polemic surrounding the novel, sparked by publications from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. By tracing the semantic knots in each author’s work, the book highlights the distinct voice of Don literature—a voice shaped by displacement, conflict, and a deep connection to the steppe.
Priced at 683.00 RUR, this volume is intended for a broad readership interested in Russian history, literary criticism, and the lesser-known perspectives of writers who lived through the war both abroad and in their homeland.
