Summary
Mikhail Aleksandrovich Sholokhov: Uzorana ledina I-II
The novel Uzorana ledina tells about the wisdom, resourcefulness and struggle of the people of the Russian steppes. Mihail Sholokhov is known as an excellent connoisseur of the life and customs of the Cossacks with whom he grew up. His descriptions of nature are well thought out and in deep connection with the interior of the people of that time, they are also connected with the political and economic necessities of the historical moment. Although uneducated, with his rich life experience and innate sensitivity, Mikhail Sholokhov received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1965. The success is all the greater because the most deserving book for the award is Tihi Don, which Sholokhov wrote at an early age. It is interesting that even today in Russia there are debates about whether such a young man could have written such a monumental work.
