This really makes people feel all the complex emotions in the hearts of the people at the bottom of that era. At that time, everything they had was for a beautiful ideal and belief. Soviet literary works have always given people a great sense of sadness, which is difficult to see in other literary works. In any case, their loyalty and love for their motherland is really touching. (This is my first time writing a long review:))
I think this book is a very realistic representation of life at that time. As the book says, "Life is not a play, it doesn't need too much drama." It allowed me to see the struggles and choices of ordinary people in the torrent of history. I particularly liked the character of Gregory, his story was really fascinating. There are also descriptions of war scenes in the book, which are so exciting! All in all, this is a book well worth reading.
The reading of the novel "Quiet Don" is getting better and better, and I have an urge to finish it immediately. It is indeed a classic literary masterpiece, and it is really well written: the scenes are spectacular, the momentum is magnificent, the descriptions are vivid and detailed, and it describes the impermanence of life and the misfortune of fate. The torrent of revolution is unstoppable, and the historical events are so majestic that people are dumbfounded and thrilling. They often think about: What would have happened if I had lived in that place at that time.
In a turbulent era, small people are like grass in the storm, more helpless than applying for peace.

With delicate brushstrokes, it vividly depicts the life and destiny of the Cossacks
The Quiet Don River is a novel with delicate descriptions and an immersive feeling. The ups and downs of the story are fascinating. I like this work very much.
Through Gregory's experience, the book gives people a deeper sense of participation in the history of the establishment of the Soviet Union.
The group portraits in this book are well written, the characters have distinct personalities, and the themes are quite profound.
