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.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBTranslator: Robert Chandler, Elizabeth ChandlerContributor: Robert Chandler (Translated by), Elizabeth Chandler (Translated by)Genre: Travel & TransportTopic: HistoryRelease Year: 2014 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
