The author of this book, ②, is a newly-famous writer, and in 1927 P.s.kogan ③, "The Great decade of literature", has not yet seen his name, and we have not been given his autobiography. The capital Northern Song of the roll is translated from the appendix of the German translation of the 30-man set of new Russian novelists (Dreising neue Erxaehler des Newen Russland).
This "quiet Don" in the first three ④, Germany in the last year by Olga Haloern⑤ translated into the publication, there was a more detailed in the book on the departments diction:
"The ROTHENF is one of the Russian poets who are directly from the folk and retain their origins." About two years ago, the name of the young Cossack began to appear in the art circles of Russia and is now regarded as one of the most gifted writers of New Russia. Before he was 14 years old, he had actually participated in the Russian Revolution, suffered several wounds and was driven out of his village by the counter-revolutionary army.
His novel, "The Quiet Don" opened in 1913, he used the heat of the southern color, to describe the Cossacks (those heroic, rebellious slaves Pugatchov,stenka Rasin,bulavin⑥ and other seed, these people's behavior in the history of the Great) life.
But what he described was not in common with the unreal romance that partly dominated Western Europeans ' imaginations of the Don Cossacks.
"The life of the Cossacks of the pre-war parental system is very well described in this novel. The center of the narrative is the young Cossack personality Richori and a neighbour's wife, Alexia, who were fused by a powerful passion to taste happiness and ruin. and surround them both, then the Russian countryside breathes, works, sings, chats, rests.
"One day, in this peaceful country, suddenly a shout exclaimed: War! The most powerful men have gone out. The Cossacks ' village also bled. But in the continuation of the war grew a gloomy hatred, which is approaching the current revolutionary omen ... "
Shortly after the book was written, Huasche (F.k.weiskopf) ⑦ also gave proper criticism:
"The Quiet Don," Rothenf, seems to me to be a kind of prophecy--The young man's Russian literature with the collapse, the Banfrov of the poor peasant, and oued from Casbah's and Ivanov's novels and legends for the completion of the prophecy set by the EG-listened west; A new literature full of primitive force grows up, this kind of literature, its vast like Russia's big wilderness, its fresh and unruly is like the Soviet youth. In the works of the young Russian writers is nothing but a kind of prophecy and embryo (new view, from a completely abnormal, new aspect to observe the problem, that new description), in the Rothenf of the novel has been very developed. This novel is for its great idea, the diversity of life, the moving of description, so that we remember Tolstoy's War and Peace. We were nervously looking forward to the advent of the continuation of the roll. ”
The continuation of the German translation is only in the fall of this year, but it is still about to be renewed, as the original has not been finished yet. This translation, that is, out of the first half of the Olga Halpern German translation, "in the continuation of the war, but the growth of the gloomy hatred", is not yet seen here. However, the scenery is not only unique, human complex, writing and clear concise, no old literati painting angle, Wanzhuan of the vice, Huasche said, "full of primitive power of the new literature" of the approximate, has been burning can be a glimpse. If there is a full translation in the future, there must be much more to inspire the new writers here. But whether it can be achieved depends on the strength of the ancient nation's reading profession.
