Explanation

" Everything Flows is as important a novel as anything written by Solzhenitsyn, and Robert Chandler s superb translation makes it a joy to read ntony Beevor Ivan Grigoryevich has been in the Gulag for thirty years. Released after Stalin s death, he finds that the years of terror have imposed a collective moral slavery. He must struggle to find a place for himself in an unfamiliar world. Grossman tells the stories of those people entwined with Ivan s fate- his cousin Nikolay, a scientist who never let his conscience interfere with his career, Pinegin, the informer who had Ivan sent to the camps and Anna Sergeyevna, Ivan s lover, who tells of her involvement as an activist in the Terror famine of 1932 3. Everything Flows is Vasily Grossman s final testament, written after the Soviet authorities suppressed Life and Fate. 'Vasily Grossman is the Tolstoy of the USSR' Martin Amis"
