The epic "And Quiet Flows the Don" (Nobel Prize 1963) is the most notable work of global anti-war literature.

The author views the events through the eyes of the worker who has faced new sufferings added to an already difficult fate. Sholokhov is the beloved author of the youth who struggle in the vanguard for world peace.

He illustrated in a simple and vivid manner what true proletarian revolution is, what efforts were needed for its success in the USSR, how much blood was shed, and how, finally, for the first time in the world, the most democratic power - Soviet power - was established over one-sixth of the Earth's sphere.

The novel "And Quiet Flows the Don" is the work that helps one understand what socialism truly is and what socialist realism in literature means.
