The publisher on this edition
The great Russian 20th-century novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Stalingrad . Life and Fate is an epic tale of a country told through the fate of a single family, the Shaposhnikovs. As the battle of Stalingrad looms, Grossman's characters must work out their destinies in a world torn by ideological tyranny and war. Completed in 1960 and then confiscated by the KGB, this sweeping panorama of Soviet Society remained unpublished until it was smuggled into the West in 1980, where it was hailed as a masterpiece. " Compelling... Grossman's portrait is timelessly relevant... Life and Fate is worth all the audience it can find" The Times
