 This is volume 1 of a five volume set.    Sholokhov's book introduces the reader to a New World that is not merely the Don Region, but the world of the author's inimitably poetic prose; giving fifteen years of his life to the creation of And Quiet  Flows the Don. He began the first book at the age of twenty, in 1926.  The last was finished in 1940. While Leo Tolstoy’s novel War and Peace (1863-69) immortalized the Napoleonic campaigns to the eve of the Decembrist revolt,  And Quiet Flows the Don showed the destruction of the Cossacks and the birth of a new society.   less

for me this is the War and Peace for the 20th century common people. An amazing book.

Some of the most gut-wrenching imagery I have ever encountered. The story is utterly captivating. Hate communism? Read this. Understanding people's motivations is important.
