And Quiet Flows the Don - Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 (1957) — English Subtitle. (One of the Most Significant stories of war or conflict ever written)

One of the most significant works of world and Russian literature in the 20th century, “And Quiet Flows the Don” by Mikhail Shokolov is one of the most insightful stories of geopolitics, World War One, civil war, love, family, friendship, idealism, classism, and clientelism ever written. This historical novel depicting the lives and tribulations of Don Cossacks during the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the Russian Civil War, conflicts that devasted this group more than any other of the Russian Empire, won  Mikhail Sholokhov the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1965. This fine piece of writing brings to life the different angles of conflict in ways that few other works can compare to.

 

This 1957-1958 Soviet adaption for the screen comes with English subtitles and is third in four adaptions to the screen that has been made, with the last one done more comprehensively in 2015 as a 14-part TV-series in Russian without English subtitles.
