"Superbly translated by Robert and Elizabeth Chandler. . . . Its greatest strength lies in its authenticity, with several characters modelled on real-life figures and much of the description drawn from personal testimony. Grossman combines a journalist's eye with a novelist's empathy, his portrayal of men under fire matching that of Erich Remarque and Stephen Crane." --Michael Arditti, The Spectator (UK) "For the second world war, or Great Patriotic War as it is known in Russia, the most renowned writer is Vasily Grossman. . . . a superb translation by Robert and Elizabeth Chandler. . . admirers of Grossman will enjoy The People Immortal and benefit greatly from the introduction, afterword, appendices and notes provided by Robert Chandler and [Julia] Volohova." --Tony Barber, Financial Times " The People Immortal is a remarkable novel that illuminates the terrible realities of Barbarossa and the banal horror of warfare with incomparable understanding and insight. As you would expect from Robert and Elizabeth Chandler, the translation is superb." --Jonathan Dimbleby "Grossman's great and enduring asset as a novelist is that - paradoxically - he didn't have to rely on his imagination. He was there . . . It gives his writing unrivalled authority . . . [A] significant, valuable addition to Grossman's small but powerful body of work" --William Boyd, Sunday Times "Grossman's future greatness is written in its pages . . . at the heart of his writing lies a tireless humanity and empathy" --Julian Evans, Telegraph "[An] insightful novel. . . The text, which Grossman wrote shortly after his own visit to the front as a war correspondent, hums with fine details. . . a worthy look into Russian wartime psychology." -- Publishers Weekly, "A work not only of considerable literary significance, but also an important historical document. . . .As a new world war is brewing in Ukraine, and the vilest nationalism, xenophobia and historical lies are being promoted by the ruling classes everywhere, works like this will help reconnect the generations that have to wage the revolutionary battles of today with the socialist traditions of 1917." --Clara Weiss, World Socialist Web Site "This is Grossman's genius. In a few lines he can evoke a whole life. . .The book is barely 200 pages but this new edition is full of fascinating footnotes and biographical and historical information. . . .it reminds us of the horrors of war and why Grossman was one of the greatest chroniclers of the Second World War in all its inhumanity." --David Herman, The Jewish Chronicle "Superbly translated by Robert and Elizabeth Chandler. . . . Its greatest strength lies in its authenticity, with several characters modelled on real-life figures and much of the description drawn from personal testimony.

He understands that, like the infantrymen and tankers he describes, he's a soldier, too, only stories are his weapon." --Elliot Ackerman, The Atlantic "In the summer and autumn of 1941 Grossman worked as a frontline correspondent for the military newspaper Red Star, narrowly eluding capture. What is so remarkable about the notes he took and the novel that gives them fuller expression is his capacity in the early hour of bitter retreat to grasp that this was 'a war like no other'." --Jochen Hellbeck, TLS "The writing is tensile and evocative. A scene of besieged soldiers singing in the forest has stayed with me; I can still hear their voices." --Cary Holladay, Hudson Review "A work not only of considerable literary significance, but also an important historical document. . . .As a new world war is brewing in Ukraine, and the vilest nationalism, xenophobia and historical lies are being promoted by the ruling classes everywhere, works like this will help reconnect the generations that have to wage the revolutionary battles of today with the socialist traditions of 1917." --Clara Weiss, World Socialist Web Site "This is Grossman's genius.

Synopsis
The first war novel by the author of Life and Fate and a stunningly accurate portrayal of soldierly life written at the beginning of World War II. Vasily Grossman wrote three novels about the Second World War, each offering a distinct take on what a war novel can be, and each extraordinary. A common set of characters links Stalingrad and Life and Fate , but Stalingrad 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. Life and Fate , 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. The People Immortal is 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, The People Immortal is the novel as weapon in hand., The first war novel by the author of Life and Fate and a stunningly accurate portrayal of soldierly life written at the beginning of World War II. Vasily Grossman's three war novels are recognizably the work of the same writer; all display his sharp psychological insights and his gift for descriptive passages that appeal to all our different senses. Nevertheless, the goals he set himself in these novels are very different. Life and Fate is not only a novel but also a work of moral and political philosophy, focusing on the question of whether or not it is possible for someone to behave ethically even when subjected to overwhelming violence. The earlier Stalingrad is primarily a work of memorialization, a tribute to all who died during the war. The still earlier The People Immortal, set during the catastrophic defeats of the war's first months, is both a work of fiction and an important contribution to the Soviet war effort. The plot of The People Immortal is simple: A Red Army regiment wins a minor victory in eastern Belorussia but fails to exploit this success. One battalion is then entrusted with the task of slowing the German advance, even though it is understood that this battalion will inevitably end up being encircled. The novel ends with this battalion breaking out of encirclement and joining up with the rest of the Soviet forces. The NYRB Classics edition includes not only the novel itself (supplemented with passages from Grossman's typescripts that were censored from the published version of the novel), but also a variety of background material, including appreciative letters Grossman received during the first year of the war from Soviet commissars and commanders.
