Stalingrad Character List for Reference

Stalingrad By Vasily Grossman has been an amazing read so far. I’m only 150 pages into this 1000 page masterpiece. I’ve read a few Russian classics already, thoroughly enjoying each one of them. I must say … this is the first novel where I felt compelled to print out the character list to make notes on as I journey through the story. One of the translators, Robert Chandler also wrote the introduction for this work. He mentions the struggles Grossman had in writing this & the many more once it was written. There are quite a few extra characters, many will be seen only once and like real victims of a wartime world, they’ll disappear into oblivion. Already, I’ve been deeply moved by some of the character sketches we’ve seen so far. I’d like to make brief notes to keep track of how I feel about some characters, check the list to see if they’ll stay in the book for at least a couple hundred pages. So, I created this PDF to help fellow readers of Stalingrad. Feel free

It’s a fantastic book that gives a sweeping overview of Russian literature, the historical context, brief biographies of the authors and their influences. It highlights the epic conversation of Russian/Ukranian Literature. It’s well worth your time to track it down and buy a copy, having the Romanized Titles are indispensable for anyone serious about Russian Lit. This book also has an appendix of recommended translations. I disagree with the Dostoevsky translations he recommends. Some of the Constance Garnett translations have been updated since this book’s publication. The rest of them are still the celebrated ones that are the most complete, having them listed can save you a lot of time searching out the best translations. It’s such a great book, I’d love to see an updated Reprinting of it that includes recent translations and contemporary novels. I omitted the original Russian names th
