Życie i los

Życie i los Wasilija Grossmana to książka niezwykła, niezwykłe też są jej dzieje. Autor pisał ją, wierząc, że zostanie opublikowana w ZSRR, władza wykonała jednak swoistą egzekucję, nie na samym autorze, ale na jego dziele – skazano je na nieistnienie, aresztując rękopisy. Dużo wcześniej niż inni Grossman zrozumiał: jak dalece podobne są oba, zwarte w śmiertelnej walce, totalitarne ustroje: sowiecki i hitlerowski. Napisana z Tołstojowskim rozmachem powieść przedstawia losy jednej rodziny na tle...
