Vida y destino consigue emocionar, conmover y perturbar al lector desde la primera línea y resiste -si no supera- la comparación con otras obras maestras como Guerra y paz o Doctor Zhivago. En la batalla de Stalingrado, el ejército nazi y las tropas soviéticas escriben una de las páginas más sangrientas de la historia. Pero la historia también está hecha de pequeños retazos de vida de la gente que lucha para sobrevivir al terror del régimen estalinista y al horror del exterminio en los campos, para que la libertad no sea aplastada por el yugo del totalitarismo, para que el ser humano no pierda su capacidad de sentir y amar. En la literatura hay pocas novelas que hayan logrado transmitir esto con tanta intensidad. Vida y destino es una novela de guerra, una saga familiar, una novela política, una novela de amor. Es todo eso y mucho más. Vasili Grossman aspiraba quizás a cambiar el mundo con su novela pero lo que es seguro es que Vida y destino le cambia la vida a quien se adentra en sus páginas Said to be the greatest work of Vasily Grossman, Jewish Soviet journalist and author, this book was impounded and almost certainly destroyed in 1960 by the KGB, but Grossman had given copies to two friends. Finally published in English in the 1980s and in Russia during the period of glasnost in 1988, this is a great, moving, and terrible account of the siege of Stalingrad, the Holocaust, the Gulag, and the circumstances and philosophy of everyday life in Stalin’s Soviet Union. The author constructed the work as a new War and Peace with similarities including the title itself, the many characters, its episodic nature, Hitler and Paulus substituting for Napoleon, and probably many others that I’ve missed. Some of the episodes are reminiscent of Chekov’s stories, with their examination of complex human behavior, the use of humor, the lack of a tied-up ending and the sense that the characters continue on after the story ends. Grossman’s well-known fine powers of observation, his interviewing techniques, and his imagination yield especially striking accounts of the thoughts of a child entering the Auschwitz gas chamber and of a Soviet Commissar undergoing interrogation at the Lubyanka prison in Moscow. Some of the author’s thoughts that caught my eye: And what did this doctrine of peace and love bring to humanity?....[It] caused more suffering than all the crimes of the people who did evil for its own sake.....People are wrong to see life as a struggle between good and evil....[human kindness] is what is truly human in a human being....Kindness is powerful only while it is powerless. By the way, do you know the difference between a good type and a bad type? A good type is someone who behaves swinishly in spite of himself. Tell me what you accuse the Jews of–I’ll tell you what you’re guilty of. ...however rich and famous a man may be, he will still grow old, die and yield his place to the young; that perhaps nothing matters except to live one’s life honestly. You say life is freedom. Is that what people in the camps think? I have read this novel twice, the second time herein dated. I will avoid repeating the same praises of other reviewers. Comparing this novel to War and Peace appropriate. Its range broad, character vary from Stalin to a tank commander who refuses to give the order to begin the counter-attack until he, the tank commander is ready. The freedom which exists at Stalingrad among the chaos in death contributes to the tragedy as anyone familiar with Stalinist history knows what is waiting for the defenders after the battle. Contrary to some reviewers who defy sense by giving this novel a lesser review, I love Soveit and Russian literature. Like Soveit films, they are long, ponderous and existentially worth the effort. Sadly, today, with the war in Ukraine, it is sad to read emails from translators of Russian that demand for their services have dried up. Literature, especially great literature such as Life and Fate, transcends frontiers and enemy soldiers. One of the more powerful threads of the novel is the defenders of House 6/1. Will leave the reader free to encouter it.
Originaltittel: Zjizn i sudba / Liv og skjebne; Vasilij Grossman; Steinar Gil (Oversetter) Omtale: Romanen er en skildring av forholdene på Østfronten under annen verdenskrig, og om kommunistregimet etter nazistenes fall. I sentrum for handlingen står en russisk-jødisk fysiker og hans familie. Boken er skrevet av krigsreporteren Vasilij Grossman som var øyevitne under kampene om Stalingrad. © DnBB AS Fra bokomslaget: Liv og skjebne er en storslagen skildring om en verden som faller sammen - under slaget om Stalingrad. Krigsreporteren Vasilij Grossman var øyenvitne under kampene om Stalingrad - med førstehånds kunnskap om det som skjedde. I fortellingens sentrum står den russiske familien Sjaposjnikov som blir spredd for alle vinder: En ung gutt på vei til gasskammeret, en fysiker som presses til "de korrekte" vitenskapelige resultater og en mor som leter etter sønnen hun har mistet. Dette er noen av de skjebner som tilsammen skaper det store bildet. Etter at Stalingrad endelig befris fra nazistene, oppdager mange mennesker at de nå lever under et annet redselsregime: Kommunistene. Grossman skildrer de ufattelige forholdene på Østfronten, der menneskenes lengsel etter friheten er sterkere enn alt annet. Manuskriptet til boken ble i sin tid beslaglagt av KGB, men smuglet ut til vesten. Denne boken er et "must" for alle som leste Antony Beevors bestselger Stalingrad.

A book judged so dangerous in the Soviet Union that not only the manuscript but the ribbons on which it had been typed were confiscated by the state, Life and Fate is an epic tale of World War II and a profound reckoning with the dark forces that dominated the twentieth century. Interweaving an account of the battle of Stalingrad with the story of a single middle-class family, the Shaposhnikovs, scattered by fortune from Germany to Siberia, Vasily Grossman fashions an immense, intricately detailed tapestry depicting a time of almost unimaginable horror and even stranger hope. Life and Fate juxtaposes bedrooms and snipers' nests, scientific laboratories and the Gulag, taking us deep into the hearts and minds of characters ranging from a boy on his way to the gas chambers to Hitler and Stalin themselves. This novel of unsparing realism and visionary moral intensity is one of the supreme achievements of modern Russian literature. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
