Modi University, Newai, Rajasthan, India. : An International Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in English ISSN 2455-7544 www.daathvoyagejournal.com Vol.2, No.1, March, 2017 Book Review of Mikhail Sholokhov’s And Quiet Flows The Don Stavan R Christian Assistant Professor in English Shri Bhikhabhai Patel Arts College Anand, Gujarat. About the Book. And Quiet Flows The Don is written by Mikhail Sholokhov. This book is originally written in Russian Language and translated by Stephen Garry. The genre of this book is novel but it is being considered as an epic novel. The publisher of this book is Alfred A. Knopf (Eng. Trans. US). The publication year is 1928 and 1940 (in serial) but the same volume published in book form in 1934. About the Author. Mikhail Sholokhov was born in 1905. He was born in the Don region, his family had been living there for many generations. He studied in Moscow. When he was about fifteen he came back to his native place and started working as a schoolteacher, a statistician, a food inspector and so on. At the age of eighteen he started writing. He is well known as the most famous novelist of Soviet Union. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1965. He died in February 21, 1984. His major works are as under, Tales From the Don, his first book, published in 1926. And Quiet Flows The Don, published in 1928, in the Soviet Union, and later it published in the United States in 1934, which won him the Nobel Prize for Literature. Virgin Soil Upturned (1935), which won him the Lenin Prize. Controversy About Sholokhov’s Publication of And Quiet Flows The Don Vol.2, No.1 March, 2017 Page 258 : An International Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in English ISSN 2455-7544 www.daathvoyagejournal.com Vol.2, No.1, March, 2017 Sholokhov was incriminated of plagiarizing And Quiet Flows The Don. His critics made a that it was written by Fyodor Krykov, a Cossack and Anti-Bolshevik. This claim would compel him to submit his manuscripts. Sholokhov’s authorship was accepted by a special commission in 1929. But in the year 1999 the Russian Academy of Science on the basis of his manuscript declared that And Quiet Flows The Don has been written by Mikhail Sholokhov himself. And Quiet Flows The Don as an Epic Novel To prove And Quiet Flows The Don as an epic novel the researcher needs to refer common features of epic and novel which I found in this text which are as under; Invocation Community Values War and Combat Length Tragic Hero The above mentioned common features as a reader I have found in this epic novel: And Quiet Flows The Don. Invocation Generally epic begins with invocation which means prayer. In epic poem the author praises to God or Goddess demanding courage and confidence to complete successfully the writing of his epic. Here in the text of Sholokhov we find Old Cossack Songs. “Not with the plough is our dear glorious earth furrowed, Our death is furrowed with the hoofs of horses, And our dear glorious earth is sown with the heads of Cossacks; Vol.2, No.1 March, 2017 Page 259 : An International Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in English ISSN 2455-7544 www.daathvoyagejournal.com Vol.2, No.1, March, 2017 Our gentle Don is adorned with youthful widows; Our gentle father Don is blossomed with orphans; The waves of the gentle Don are rich with fathers’ and mothers’ tears. O thou, our father, gentle Don! Oh, why dost thou, gentle Don, flow so troubledly? “Ah, how should I, the gentle Don, not flow troubledly? From my depths, the depths of the Don, the cold springs beat; Amid me, the gentle Don, the white fish leap”. ▬ Old Cossack Songs Generally in prayer we talk with the God. Here Sholokhov talks with the Don, whom he considers as his father and God. I feel that he has mentioned Cossack Songs which are on the river-Don in his work because the Don becomes the witness of every situation. And while remembering the Don he remembers every situation which would happen in the past. Community Values Most of the epics have been written in those times which were the times of community values. Since the authors of the epic poetry lived in the time of community values. So far as And Quiet Flows The Don is concerned Sholokhov has become the witness of all the situation which he has faced during his life span. Because through this novel he talks about the situation of the Don river. Cossacks during the time of War, Revolution and Civil War. And so we can say that he lives in the time of community values. War and Combat Vol.2, No.1 March, 2017 Page 260 : An International Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in English ISSN 2455-7544 www.daathvoyagejournal.com Vol.2, No.1, March, 2017 In this epic novel we have four parts in which two of them are- War (Part-II) and Civil War (Part- IV). In these two parts Sholokhov talks about the war and the situation during it. Here we can find the war between the Russia and Germany. Length So far as length of this work is concerned it is very huge. This epic novel contains IV parts. And it accommodates 559 pages. This epic novel deals with the grand theme of the War and the Civil War. And so Sholokhov takes fourteen years to complete it. Observing the above mentioned features we can say that it is an epic novel. Epic used to refer the past whereas here Sholokhov has also referred the past. Referring one website on epic history (britannica.com/art/epic) I come to know that, Epic, long narrative poem recounting heroic deeds, although the term has also been loosely used to describe novels, such as Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace. And so we can say that And Quiet Flows The Don is an epic novel. This reveals that epic is a term which is now used to describe novel form. Tragic Hero Gregor Melekhov is the tragic hero of this epic novel. He has been suffering throughout his life in the novel. He is a tragic hero who is always in a dilemma to decide anything just like whether to join which army? Whether to join the war or not? Critical Reading of the Text: And Quiet Flows The Don And Quiet Flows The Don is a novel by Mikhail Sholokhov. It is considered to be his life work and he took fourteen years to complete it. The novel contains four parts. The first part Peace was published in 1928. The second part War was illuminated in 1929. The third part Revolution was enlightened in 1933. And the fourth part Civil War was published in 1940. He Vol.2, No.1 March, 2017 Page 261 : An International Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in English ISSN 2455-7544 www.daathvoyagejournal.com Vol.2, No.1, March, 2017 received a Nobel Prize for this novel in 1965. The novel displays the events which would happen from 1912 to 1922. The main events are world war one, revolution in 1917 and the civil war. Part: I Peace The first part of this novel talks about the situation of the Don region before war, revolution and civil war. The first part of the novel contains thirteen chapters. The first part shows us the culture of the Don region and their style of living. Part I begins with the Melekhov family. Melekhov family lives in Tatarsk village which is near by the Don River. The surface of the Don is a grey, broken edging of shingle, a pearly drift of mussel-shells. This suggests that the flow of the Don River is quiet likewise the life of the Cossacks is also quiet. Members of the Melekhov’s family are as under. Vol.2, No.1 March, 2017 Page 262 : An International Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in English ISSN 2455-7544 www.daathvoyagejournal.com Vol.2, No.1, March, 2017 Hierarchy of the Melekhovs Prokoffey Melekhov Pantaleimon Ilinichna Melekhov Melekhov Piotra Daria Gregor Natalia Dunia Melekhov Melekhov Melekhov Melekhov Melekhov The Glimpse of the Major Characters of the Novel Gregor Natalia Melekhov Melekhov Aksinia Astakhov Vol.2, No.1 March, 2017 Page 263 : An International Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in English ISSN 2455-7544 www.daathvoyagejournal.com Vol.2, No.1, March, 2017 In the present novel these three characters are very important. Because throughout the novel many things which would happen in their life. The entire novel is revolving around these three characters. But so far as hierarchy is concerned we have to look after the major characters of the text. 1) Prokoffey Melekhov Prokoffey Melekhov is the father of Pantaleimon. In the beginning of the novel we come across this character. He gets married with a Turkish woman from whom he has a son whose name is Pantaleimon Melekhov. 2) Pantaleimon Melekhov Prokoffey’s blood is running in Pantaleimon’s body who is a Cossack. But he does not look like Cossack. Pantaleimon’s physical appearance is just like her mother. He gets married with Ilinichna. They have three children. Piotra is the first son of them. Gregor is the second one. They have one daughter also whose name is Dunia Melekhov. 3) Piotra Melekhov Piotra Melekhov, Gregor’s elder brother, who is in the army with him. When the revolutionary troops advance on Tatarsk, their home village, Piotra is named commander of the villagers, who are organized by a counterrevolutionary officer.

Today, museums face a momentous task of keeping up with changes while keeping alive the invaluable past. At AIMA’s triennial congress CIMA XVIII we focussed on how traditions and rural heritage can be used to create changes for sustainable futures. Agricultural museums take many forms – they operate as research institutions, as places of civic dialogue, and as repositories of tangible and intangible cultural heritage. Their collections grew during periods when rapid outmigration from rural and farm settings prompted public memorialisation of rural and farm expe- riences. The following questions were addressed: 1. How can rural heritage be used to ensure global food safety? 2. Should modern museums expand missions to incorporate the current social reactions to agricultural controversies (such as GMOs, government regulation, and chemical applications and environmental effects)? 3.

This course explores these vivid human experiences through great, and lesser, works of film and literature. Topics range widely, from medieval Japan to Africa, the Americas and Europe, the two 20th century world wars and various “small wars” of the 19th through 21st centuries. W e explore "the angle of vision" problem: who should we trust more, eye-witness accounts of war, great poets and novelists, modern film-makers, or military and other historians? W ho gets us closest to the "truth" about war as a fundamental element of the human experience and condition? Can we draw general conclusions about the experience of war? Or do we falsely impose our own ideas on history? Note: The course is thematic rather than narrative. Some of you will find it necessary to do extra reading on the general history of war, or reading that situates specific wars in overarching patterns of military and world history. I will post a comprehensive reading list to Blackboard. On the course site are additional features, from photos and music files to videos, to still and animated maps.

  • The Cossacks' Bordering Process in the Civil War
    TERRITORIAL IDENTITY AND DEVELOPMENT Volume 5 / No. 2, Autumn 2020 ISSN 2537 - 4850 ISSN–L 2537 - 4850 THE COSSACKS’ BORDERING PROCESS IN THE CIVIL WAR. FILMIC REPRESENTATIONS Olga GRĂDINARU Babeş-Bolyai University, Faculty of Theatre and Film and Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, Department of Foreign Languages and Business Communication, Cluj-Napoca, ROMANIA [email protected] DOI: http://doi.org/10.23740/TID220203 ABSTRACT The Russian Revolution(s) and the Russian Civil War represent topics revisited by the recent Russian media and film- making. Mikhail Sholokhov’s novel And Quiet Flows the Don as a masterful case of fictionalisation of historical events is the basis for four subsequent film adaptations. Whereas the destiny of the Russian Cossacks is a generous theme, we would like to focus on the filmic representation of Cossacks’ bordering process in the Civil War. Two Soviet film adaptations and two post-Soviet ones present in different manners the impact of the shifting borders on people’s lives during the Russian fratricide war. Tzar’s abdication had caused confusion in the midst of the Cossack population loyal to the state father figure, while contributing afterwards to a territorial identity construction and a fight to obtain and maintain the autonomy of the Cossack region. Soviet and post-Soviet directors’ approaches of the geographical, mental and cultural borders during the Civil War in the Cossack region offer insights into the debatable loyalties and multiple sides shifting. The analysis of the four film adaptations is focused on concepts such as questioned loyalty, divisive Cossack territorial identity, nuanced and shifting identity and active/ passive territoriality.
