Relation As Books The Fate of a Man and Early Stories

There is restraint and a trace of sadness in the way Mikhail Sholokov begins his story, as if to warn the reader that it is not an easy tale he has to tell. One postwar spring the author met a tall man with stooping shoulders and big rugged hands. And perhaps for the first and last time soldier Andrei Sokolov told a chance acquaintance the story of his life, told how he endured tortures and sufferings that would have broken many a man of weaker nature... But Sokolov's torn and wounded heart is still eager for life and eager to share life with his little Vanya, orphaned by the war like himself. Sholokov's The Fate of a Man ends on a stern note. Yet as one closes the book one believes that Andrei Sokolov will give all the strength of his generous Russian soul to his adopted son and that the boy will grow at his father's side into another man who can overcome any obstacle if his country calls upon him to do so.

Evaluation Regarding Books The Fate of a Man and Early Stories

Судьба человека = = Sudba Cheloveka = Fate of a Man = The Fate of a Man, Mikhail SholokhovFate of a Man (Sudba Cheloveka) is a short story written by Soviet Russian writer Mikhail Sholokhov in 1956. With the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, the truck driver Andrey Sokolov has to leave for army and part with his family. In the first months of the war, he gets wounded and is captured by Germans. In captivity, he experiences all the burdens of a concentration camp. Due to his courage he showed

This story deserves 4 stars but only gave 3 coz I'm not a big fan of world war 2 stories. But its a great tale about a Russian who had suffered from German Nazies. It was good to see after losing everything , how he finds something to life for. Another heartbreaking Sholokhov short story.

This was an amazing story that was wonderfully written. I feel as though the reader was given a glimpse of the eternal hardships of war and the burdens soldiers must carry with them long after the fighting has stopped. I would recommend this book to any one. Sometimes if feel that people become so far detached from the sacrifice and destruction of war when we have not been thorough it ourselves. But this book has birthed in me a gratefulness and empathy for the solider that I have never felt



I believe, I do not have a right and capacity to rate lots of books. The great part of them are the ones based on true stories, written by the real participants, but, most importantly, brought light to the most horrible war in human history where, according to some sources, 40 millions of the Soviet people sacrificed their lives in the fight against Nazism.The story was screened by Sergei Bondarchuk in 1959 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053317/

Though I've read a lot of Russian literature in my life, 'Fate of a Man' marks my first encounter with Sholokhov's writing, and I couldn't be more impressed. It's a short but powerful and extraordinarily poignant novella. In simple terms, it tells the story of the hardships and tragedy suffered by one man, Andrei Sokolov, during his years spent fighting the Nazis and incarcerated in their camps. Grief mounts on grief until his pain seems almost beyond endurance, a level of suffering that should
