The Quiet Don River (Three Volumes) (Guomai Classics)

The language is like Cossacks, the sword is like the wind, the horse is rushing like the river, the people's perspective of war and peace, art is natural.

It's a very good book. I read it in one sitting. It truly describes the real life of that era and the Cossack Grigory's thoughts, which led him to go astray and finally to the path of justice.

The evaluation of history is honest and objective, and does not become subjective based on one's own standpoint.

It is indeed a classic, and I really want to read it in one sitting. It describes the Cossacks' tenacious and casual personalities fighting against fate, their poignant and helpless love, the quiet and ever-growing Don River, and the beautiful and vast grasslands. The description of the scenery and the characters' psychology are very life-like. It is a good book.

This book starts with the Gregorian family, describing people's lives in the context of the war. It is also the first time I understand the Russian Cossacks from the book. They are brave and fearless, with flesh and blood. The ending is so sad, but it is also the normal state of life. In the end, everyone faces the world alone, from nothing to nothing.

The language in this book expresses emotions delicately and colorfully; the description of the environment is very vivid and interesting, making people feel as if they are there; the characters are lifelike and unforgettable; the pictures are magnificent and majestic, making people put it down and want to put it down!

The author endured huge political pressure and the 14-year creative journey was really not easy. The last volume in the middle part is really almost unreadable. It's all about war and my head hurts [rolls eyes]. I simply read it to the end. After understanding the author's creative background, it is not difficult to understand why there are so many scenes about the revolutionary war. Let's talk about the three times that the protagonist Grigory took Aksinya to escape. The first time was when Grigory took her to escape to the house of General Listeniki shortly after his marriage. Natalia failed to commit suicide and her head was tilted; the second time the Red Army wanted to seize and occupy the Don River, leaving behind his wife, children and old mother, and took her to escape again to another town; the third time he escaped from the review and pursuit of the Political Revolutionary Committee, fled back and took her to escape with him, and abandoned the child again. Therefore, love or dislove can be seen at the critical moment. Even though Aksinya once hung out with Yevgeny Litstniki and later lived with her husband, he, Grigory, still had an affair with Aksinia shortly after Natalia's death. It is no longer possible to look at this relationship from a moral perspective. Literature is a bit romantic. The novel is too long, and the readers are not ready to read it a second time. They want to see how the film and television adaptations are.

There are no pure bad guys, just wrong times and wrong choices. An epic masterpiece! Quiet Don River, in those turbulent years, you were sometimes clear and sometimes turbid, nourishing generations of Cossacks with your strong motherly love! With your tearful eyes, you watch your children fighting on the vast grassland. One hundred years have passed, and the short-term peace has made you plump, strong, and full of vitality. But today, your two children: Russia and Ukraine, have planted the seeds of hatred around you again. How similar the histories are! There are no pure bad guys, just wrong times and wrong choices.

Through the joys and sorrows of Gregory, the cruel facts of war are told.

I feel like I haven't finished reading it yet. It seems to be a description of scenes, but it gives me a very relaxing and comfortable feeling.

Seeing his rating of 9.9, I decided to give him a five-star rating [Thinking]

This book is not only a novel about war and history, but also an apocalypse about human nature. Through the character of Gregory, we see the persistent pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty in human nature.

A book I loved when I was a student. I bought it at that time and read it carefully. The author's writing style is delicate and his emotions are sincere. It depicts the magnificent journey of the people along the Don River in that era. Now that I am an old man, I am lucky enough to listen to it again on this platform. I am very happy to read this book! Thank you for your efforts on the platform. Thank you for bringing excitement into my life.

It is worthy of being a masterpiece by a famous author and worth reading!

The description in this book does not involve passionate ups and downs, but uses a calm narrative technique to present the people and things that happened in that historical period in front of people one by one, so that future generations can experience that war-torn era personally!

I have been reading it on and off for a month and I finished it today! The simple narrative style is brilliant in every aspect, great book!

Started reading volume seven A story about Cossacks. Finished reading at 2:34 am on March 29, 2024.

It took me half a year to read this book, and I was so moved!

This book touched me very much. The characters in the story faced many difficult choices during the war years. Just like my relatives and friends, they also encounter various difficulties in life. I think we should all be like the protagonist in the book, remain kind and righteous, and not be changed by the world. This book is well worth reading and will give you a lot to think about.

Rich content, like it, support it
