Vasily Grossman糖心传媒檚 masterpiece Life and Fate is fascinating for many reasons, and one of them is the way in that it is both a pastiche and a personal statement; a conscious, cold-blooded attempt to sum up everything Grossman knew about the Great Patriotic War, and at the same time to rewrite War and Peace. Tolstoy糖心传媒檚 novel was the only book Grossman read during the war, and he read it twice; War and Peace hangs over Grossman糖心传媒檚 book as a template and a lodestar, and the measure of Grossman糖心传媒檚 achievement is that a comparison between the two books is not grotesque.
