Synopsis
This is the last, masterly novel by Vasily Grossman, the author of 'Life and Fate,' whose career was destroyed and whose life was threatened during the anti-Jewish campaign in the Soviet Union of 1953.
It is the distillation of a man's experience of freedom and slavery. After 30 years in a Siberian hard labour camp, Ivan Gregoryevich, once a leading light of his generation, emerges into the post-Stalinist 'freedom.'
It is a strange land to him. He feels his way blindly through a web of corruption and betrayal, of callous cruelty and cynicism...the aftermath of years of terror. Ironically, the long years of captivity have protected Gregoryevich from this subtle form of slavery, and he, almost alone, has retained his dignity as a human being. One of the most touching themes in the novel in his relationship with Anna Sergeyvna. In her, Grossman has created a true heroine of character and compassion.
'Forever Flowing' was begun in 1955, during a time of public success for Grossman. the book contains some of the most eloquent and moving pages ever written on the fate of the Russian peasantry.
