Sholokhov. Illegal. 3rd edition. Prilepin Z.

Mikhail Sholokhov is one of the largest writers of the 20th century, the author of epic works dedicated to revolutionary events in Russia and, above all, at his native Upper Don. Considering by the Soviet patriot and a convinced communist, at the same time he was constantly subjected to party criticism, defended the victims of repression and barely escaped the reprisals of zealous Chekists. Beloved by millions of readers, he was a stranger for an envious literary bomond, among which he was still born not an obsolete version that the most famous Sholokhov novel “Quiet Don” was written not by him, but by another author or a whole group of “literary blacks.” < /p>

In his new full -scale biography of Sholokhov, the famous writer, publicist, politician Zakhar Prilepin convincingly exposes this and other legends surrounding the name of the classic. Step by step, passing with the hero his life and creative path, Prilepin shows that not only Sholokhov’s books, but his fate is relevant for us today.
