He is likely to be remembered, above all, for the terrifying clarity with which he writes about the Shoah, the Battle of Stalingrad and the Terror Famine in the Ukraine. An Armenian Sketchbook, however, shows us a very different Grossman; it is notable for its warmth, its sense of fun and for the benign humility that is always to be found in his writing. After the 'arrest' - as Grossman always put it - of Life and Fate, Grossman took on the task of editing a literal Russian translation of a lengthy Armenian novel. The novel was of little interest to him, but he was glad of an excuse to travel to Armenia. This is his account of the two months he spent there. It is by far the most personal and intimate of Grossman's works, with an air of absolute spontaneity, as though Grossman is simply chatting to the reader about his impressions of Armenia - its mountains, its ancient churches and its people. 37125846 New York review books classics 2013 Dobro vam 11938503 Arménie rameau 11932731 Récits de voyages rameau 12013579 Grossman Vassili 1905-1964 070 16717665 Chandler Robert 1953-.... 730 16717679 Chandler Elizabeth 1947-.... 730 16717688 Bit-Yunan Yury 080 OCoLC 20131018 marc21 ICU/DLC rda 9180 MCAD MCAD Salle de lecture TEM GRO 5.2013 5 LIVR
