Durgun Don 1.Cilt

Back Cover Text (From the Promotional Bulletin)

Still Don is the masterpiece of Nobel Prize-winning writer Mikhail Sholokhov, whose literary genius has been compared to Tolstoy.

This epic novel, which tells the story of the historical events that took place under the conditions of civil war in the October Revolution and the newly established Soviet Union, is one of the peaks of the great Russian novel tradition in the 20th century.

It is a great resource for those who want to learn about the establishment of a new and egalitarian system that spreads hope to humanity in the midst of great destruction and deprivation, not only from history, politics and theory books, but also with the characters portrayed by a master writer like Sholokhov and the unique pleasure of literary expression.

This great work was translated into Turkish as a product of the joint and intense efforts of our three translators. Hasan Ali Ediz compared the translation made by Mete Ergin and Gani Yener with the Russian original. Readers will enjoy the brilliant literary style of Sholokhov, who fuses Russian folk literature with Russian classical literature, in this meticulous translation...

“So you are going to war, soldiers?”

“Yes grandpa, we are going to war.”

“I guess this will not be like the Turkish War, I don't think it will be like that. Today's weapons are different!”

“It's all one. They're all descendants of the same shit. "Just as the weapons of that time killed people, this time they will too."
