The Road is an invaluable collection of varied material by the now renowned Ukrainian Author Vasily Grossman (1905-1965), which covers his career as a writer in all its many differing facets from his earliest published work through to his last. Best known today for his once heavily censored landmark works Life and Fate, Stalingrad and Everything Flows, this collection of unedited newly translated writings - many of which have never been seen before - will prove to be of interest to both scholar and reader alike because of its unique insight into this extraordinary Author's overall oeuvre of work. Included as part of this collection are some of his most well known journalistic articles, including in full his devastating piece about the Soviet armed forces liberation of the Treblinka Concentration Camp in 1945. Additional to these are short stories, essays and notes, and letters written by the Author throughout his lifetime.

Some of the highlights included in this collection are; In the Town of Berdichev - A Young Woman, And A Old Woman - The Old Man - The Old Teacher - The Hell Of Treblinka - The Sistine Madonna - Mama - Living Space - The Dog. The Road also includes three heartbreaking letters that Vasily Grossman wrote to his Mother after she was murdered in 1941 during the occupation of The Ukraine by forces of the Third Reich. His mothers loss and the unspeakable way in which it occurred was something that he never truly recovered from, and it haunted and effected him greatly throughout his remaining years.

Edited, Researched and Presented by the husband and wife team of Robert and Elizabeth Chandler with their usual meticulous grasp of the subject, and illustrated with rare family photographs, The Road allows us to see one of the great figures of twentieth-century literature like never before.
