VASILY GROSSMAN AND THE SOVIET CENTURY Vasily Grossman's Life, Art, and Times

Stefan Rudnicki narrates this account of the life and work of Soviet journalist and author Vasily Grossman. Grossman is best known as a correspondent for the Red Army during WWII, in particular the fighting in Stalingrad and the horrors of the death camp at Treblinka. His magnum opus, LIFE AND FATE, was seized by the KGB in the early 1960s and was not published until decades later. While Rudnicki is sometimes challenged by Russian words and names, his deep pitch, enunciation, and inflections are clear, and he moves at a pace that is easy to follow.
