Set against the ferocious Battle of Stalingrad, Life and Fate is a sweeping historical tale that charts the fate of both a nation and a family in the turmoil of war and is increasingly hailed as the most important Russian novel of the 20th century. Its comparison of Stalinism with Nazism was considered by Soviet authorities to be so dangerous that the manuscript itself was arrested and Grossman was told that it would not be published for at least 200 years. He died in 1964, never knowing that his book would be smuggled to the West and eventually published in 1980.

この Vasily Grossman の原作本、故トニー・ジャットさんが生前 Amazon に寄せた「20世紀ヨーロッパの10冊 Tony Judt's 10 Books to Read on 20th Century Europe」中の1冊であることを AztecCabal さんのブログで教えてもらいました。どうもありがとうございました。

In a European century of remarkable and terrible transformations, the second half of the story has hardly been told, in comparison with the well-documented horrors of the first. And never before has it been told with the authority, breadth, and detail of Tony Judt's Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945, whose single-word title points to the extent that the century's second half lived in the shadow of what came before. Judt is perhaps the leading historian in America of the European 20th century, writing for both popular and academic audiences, and here he shares with us his list of the 10 Books to Read on 20th Century Europe, including histories, novels, and memoirs of what one of his chosen authors has called 'The Age of Extremes.'

Life and Fate by Vassily Grossman

Life and Fate: Vassily Grossman's great novel, banned by Soviet censors, was only published many decades after its author's death. Grossman served as a war reporter with the Red Army during World War Two and his account of life under Stalin and during the 'Great Patriotic War'--notably his description of the epic Battle of Stalingrad--is unmatched in fiction and historical writing alike.
