A common set of characters links \u003ci\u003eStalingrad\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLife and Fate\u003c\/i\u003e, but \u003ci\u003eStalingrad\u003c\/i\u003e is not only a moving and exciting story of desperate defense and the turning tide of war, but also a monumental memorial for the countless war dead.\u003ci\u003e Life and Fate\u003c\/i\u003e, by contrast, is a work of moral and political philosophy as well as a novel, and the deep question it explores is whether or not it is possible to behave ethically in the face of overwhelming violence. \u003ci\u003eThe People Immortal \u003c\/i\u003eis something else entirely. Set during the catastrophic first months of the German invasion of the Soviet Union, this is the tale of an army battalion dispatched to slow the advancing enemy at any cost, with encirclement and annihilation its promised end. A rousing story of resistance, \u003ci\u003eThe People Immortal\u003c\/i\u003e is the novel as weapon in hand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Grossman, Vasily\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/27\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781681376783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.93h x 5.29w x 0.91d","brand":"Vasily Grossman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39871187779659,"sku":"9781681376783","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_b2ffd076-fc65-45c1-9b43-b891f872a0fc.jpg?v=1664886649","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/the-people-immortal-9781681376783","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
