They fight for their motherland -- A series of rereadings of classics in war literature

Author: (Russian) Sholokhov, translated by Li Yongquan
Publisher:
Publishing Date: 2005-02-01
Features: This book is a trilogy of novels planned by the renowned Soviet writer and Nobel Prize laureate Sholokhov. Unfortunately, Sholokhov did not complete this monumental work during his lifetime, nor did he even finish a single volume. The "They Fought for Their Country" currently in circulation consists of chapters from the volumes published during his lifetime. Some chapters were written during the war years, while others were created after the war. The novel depicts not the grand scenes of the Soviet Red Army's massive offensive, but rather the scenes of the Red Army's retreat, or more accurately, its rout. It was once adapted into a Soviet film and received significant acclaim. This translation is based on the 2001 edition published by the Russian Echo Publishing House, which added parts reflecting peaceful life that were not published during Sholokhov's lifetime to the "They Fought for Their Country" published after his death (1985). Dedicated to commemorating the brave souls who sacrificed their lives in the World War II anti-fascist struggle! An immortal work that has influenced and inspired billions for half a century!
