List of short works about war. Works about the Great Patriotic War. Books about the heroes of the Great Patriotic War. “The Living and the Dead” Konstantin Simonov

Books about the Second World War are part of our culture. The works created by participants and witnesses of the war years became a kind of chronicle that reliably conveyed the stages of selfless struggle Soviet people with fascism. Books about the Second World War are the topic of this article.

The originality of military prose

The Great Patriotic War... It became the main and inevitable theme in the works of Russian writers and poets of the second half of the twentieth century. But, like any other genre of literature, Soviet military prose is divided into several stages of development. Books about the Second World War that were written in the forties differ significantly from works created twenty, thirty or more years after Victory Day.

The literature of the war years is distinguished by an abundance of lyrical and romantic elements. During this period, poetry received special development. The tragedy was depicted abstractly. The fate of an individual person was not given such an important role.

At the end of the fifties, other trends were observed in military prose. The hero of the book about the Second World War was a man with a difficult fate. Behind him is a tragedy he suffered that will remain with him forever. The authors depicted not only Great Victory, but also life ordinary person. There is less pathos, more realism.

Mikhail Sholokhov

In June 1941, the average Soviet person believed that victory over the invaders would come very soon. A year has passed. Belarusian cities and villages were covered in ash. Residents of Ukraine experienced grief that turned out to be incomparable to anything. The soldiers, natives of Leningrad, no longer believed that they would see their relatives alive. The first feeling that sprouted in my soul Soviet man, there was hatred.

In 1942, Mikhail Sholokhov worked. At the same time, the story “The Science of Hate” was created. The theme of this work was evolution human soul at war. Sholokhov's story is about how a civilian gradually changes, and all his thoughts focus on the desire for revenge and all-consuming hatred.

“They Fought for their Motherland” is a novel that Sholokhov did not complete. The first chapters were written during the war. Others - twenty years later. Sholokhov burned the last parts.

Heroes of the novel - simple people. They fought for their homeland, but at the same time they never stopped missing their relatives, being happy and sad simple things and even joke. The most difficult test for them was not the battles and battles, but the eyes of the Russian women who accompanied them during the retreat.

The story "The Fate of Man"

War is the most terrible thing in human history. People feel its terrible power even after the victory. The story “The Fate of Man” was written in 1956. The volleys died down long ago and the shells stopped exploding. But every Soviet person felt the echoes of the war. The inhabitants of the country were entirely people with a crippled fate. Andrei Sokolov, the hero of Sholokhov’s works, was like that.

The fate of a person is unpredictable. He can lose everything: his home, his family, everything that makes up the meaning of his life. Especially if war intervenes in this fate. The biography of the main character of Sholokhov's story may not be entirely true. During the war, a person who was captured ended up in a camp. Sokolov returned safely to the ranks of the Red Army. But there is an undeniable truth in the story. And it lies in the fact that a person can overcome grief and despair only when love is present in his life. After the loss of his loved ones, Sokolov found the strength to shelter a homeless boy. And it saved them both.

Boris Polevoy

There were real heroes among the Soviet soldiers and officers. Books were dedicated to them, films were made about them. “The Tale of a Real Man” by Boris Polevoy is a work about the legendary pilot Alexei Maresyev. The biography of this man is known to every schoolchild. His feat became an example not only for soldiers, but also for civilians. The courage of the hero to whom Boris Polevoy’s “The Tale of a Real Man” is dedicated evokes special admiration. After all, this man flew several dozen flights after he became disabled.

Yuri Bondarev

“Battalions Ask for Fire” by Yuri Bondarev is one of the first works in which there was no pathos. The novel has naked truth about war, there is an analysis of the human soul. Such features were uncharacteristic of the prose of the forties. Bondarev's work was written in 1957.

In the post-war period, authors avoided such themes as the contradiction between ends and means in their work. If in Sholokhov's story, discussed above, the heroes were either negative or positive, then in Bondarev not everything is so simple. There is no black and white in his novel. But still, despite the trials, the heroes remain faithful to their duty. None of them become traitors.

Novel "Hot Snow"

During the war he was an artilleryman. Went from Stalingrad to Czechoslovakia. " Hot Snow" is a work of fiction dedicated to events that the author knew firsthand. The heroes of Bondarev's novel die as a result of the long battle of Stalingrad. It is worth saying that the works of WWII participants have not only artistic, but also historical value. There is authenticity in “Hot Snow.” The tragic truth permeates the novel "Life and Fate".

Vasily Grossman

This writer began his work with short stories about the Red Army soldiers. The culmination of his literary path became a novel in which the author emphasized the similarities between two tyrants of the 20th century: Stalin and Hitler. For which he suffered. main book"Life and Fate" was banned.

There are several plot lines in this novel. One of them is dedicated to the defense of the legendary Pavlov’s house. The battles in this writer's novel are shown realistically. Grossman portrayed the death of a Soviet soldier simply, without unnecessary pretentious phrases. And this is how the picture of the death of civilians at the hands of the Nazis was created.

During the war, Grossman worked as a war correspondent. He witnessed the Battle of Stalingrad. And somewhere far away, in a small Ukrainian town, his mother died. She spent her last days in Jewish grief and remained forever in the writer’s soul. The theme of his post-war work was the fate of the millions who died in concentration camps and Jewish ghettos. Perhaps that is why he so heartfeltly conveyed the thoughts and feelings of a man who is dying of suffocation in a gas chamber.

Vladimir Bogomolov

“In August forty-four” is a novel that highlights the events that took place on the liberated Belarusian land. Enemy agents and scattered groups of German soldiers remained in this territory. There were many crimes on their account. In addition, the task of each underground organization was to collect information about Soviet army. One of the SMERSH counterintelligence groups searched for these agents.

The novel was written in the seventies. It is based on true events. Bogomolov’s work was the first to lift the veil of secrecy of the Soviet intelligence services.

Boris Vasiliev

One of the most striking works on a military theme is the story “The Dawns Here Are Quiet.” More than one film has been made based on Vasiliev’s work. The uniqueness of the story, written in the late sixties, lies in the fact that its heroes are not experienced and experienced fighters.

Vasiliev created five unique female images. The heroines of the story “The Dawns Here Are Quiet” were girls who were just beginning to live. One of them dreamed of parents she did not know. Another carried silk underwear in her duffel bag. The third was in love with the foreman. But they all died heroically. Each of them made an invaluable contribution to the Great Victory.

The fortress did not fall...

In 1974, Vasiliev’s story “Not on the Lists” was published. This book can produce extremely strong impression. “A person can be killed, but cannot be defeated” - this phrase became, perhaps, the key phrase in the work.

On June 21, no one believed that war could start. Any talk on this topic was considered a provocation. The next day, at four in the morning, enemy shells thundered near the Brest Fortress.

Nikolai Pluzhnikov - the hero of Vasiliev's story - was a young inexperienced officer. But the first days of the war radically changed him. He became a hero. And this heroism is all the more amazing because Pluzhnikov fought almost alone. He spent nine months in the fortress, periodically firing shots at German soldiers and officers. Most of the time he was alone. I didn't receive any letters from home. Didn't communicate with my comrades. But he survived. Pluzhnikov left the fortress only when the cartridges ran out and news of the liberation of Moscow arrived.

The prototype of Vasiliev’s story was one of the Soviet soldiers who did not stop the battle until the beginning of the forty-second year. The walls of the Brest Fortress keep the memory of their feat. On one of them is scratched with a blade: “I’m dying, but I’m not giving up. November 20, 1941.”

Alexander Kapler

The war claimed the lives of twenty-five million Soviet people. What would their fate have been if they had survived? Alexander Kapler wrote about this in his story “Two out of Twenty-Five Million.”

In the work we're talking about about the fates of young people who went through the war together. The long-awaited Victory Day is coming. Then - Peaceful time. But the post-war years are not cloudless. The country is destroyed. There is need and hunger everywhere. The heroes of Kapler's story go through all the difficulties together. And then comes the ninth of May, seventy-five. The heroes are no longer young. They have a big friendly family: children, grandchildren. Suddenly everything disappears...

In this work the author used artistic technique, which has not previously been used in military prose. At the end of the work, the action moves to the distant war years. In the Adzhimushkai catacombs, which were described at the beginning of the story, almost no one survived in 1942.

Kapler's heroes died. Their lives did not come true, as did the fates of twenty-five million Soviet people.

It became the bloodiest in the history of mankind and lasted almost 4 years, reflected in the heart of everyone as a cruel tragedy that claimed the lives of millions of people.

People of the pen: the truth about war

Despite the growing time distance between those distant events, interest in the topic of war is constantly increasing; the current generation does not remain indifferent to the courage and exploits of Soviet soldiers. The words of writers and poets, apt, elevating, guiding and inspiring, played a big role in the truthfulness of the description of the events of the war years. It was they - writers and poets - front-line soldiers, who spent their youth on the battlefields, who conveyed to modern generation the history of human destinies and the actions of people on whom life sometimes depended. The writers of the bloody wartime truthfully described in their works the atmosphere of the front, the partisan movement, the severity of campaigns and life in the rear, strong soldier friendship, desperate heroism, betrayal and cowardly desertion.

Creative generation born of war

Front-line writers are a separate generation of heroic individuals who experienced the hardships of the war and post-war period. Some of them died at the front, others lived longer and died, as they say, not from old age, but from old wounds.

The year 1924 was marked by the birth of a whole generation of front-line soldiers, known throughout the country: Boris Vasiliev, Viktor Astafiev, Yulia Drunina, Bulat Okudzhava, Vasil Bykov. These front-line writers, the list of which is far from complete, encountered the war at the moment when they had just turned 17 years old.

Boris Vasiliev is an extraordinary person

Almost all the boys and girls of the 20s failed to escape during the terrible war time. Only 3% survived, among whom Boris Vasiliev miraculously turned out to be.

He could have died in 1934 from typhus, in 1941 when surrounded, in 1943 from a mine tripwire. The boy volunteered for the front, went through cavalry and machine gun regimental schools, fought in an airborne regiment, and studied at the Military Academy. In the post-war period, he worked in the Urals as a tester of tracked and wheeled vehicles. He was demobilized with the rank of engineer captain in 1954; The reason for demobilization was the desire to engage in literary activities.

The author devoted such works as “Not on the lists”, “Tomorrow there was a war”, “Veteran”, “Don’t shoot white swans” to the military theme. Boris Vasiliev became famous after the publication in 1969 of the story “And the Dawns Here Are Quiet...”, staged in 1971 on the stage of the Taganka Theater by Yuri Lyubimov and filmed in 1972. Approximately 20 films were made based on the writer’s scripts, including “Officers”, “Tomorrow there was a war”, “Aty-Bati, the soldiers were coming...”.

Front-line writers: biography of Viktor Astafiev

Viktor Astafiev, like many front-line writers of the Great Patriotic War, in his work showed the war as great tragedy, seen through the eyes of a simple soldier - a man who is the basis of the entire army; It is he who receives punishment in abundance, and rewards pass him by. Astafiev largely copied this collective, half-autobiographical image of a front-line soldier, living the same life with his comrades and learning to fearlessly look death in the eyes, from himself and his front-line friends, contrasting it with the rear-line survivors, most of whom lived in the relatively harmless front-line zone throughout war. It was for them that he, like other poets and writers from the front lines of the Second World War, felt the deepest contempt.

The author of such famous works as “King Fish”, “Cursed and Killed”, “ Last bow“For his supposed commitment to the West and a penchant for chauvinism, which critics saw in his works, in his declining years he was abandoned to the mercy of fate by the state for which he fought, and sent to die in his native village. It was precisely this bitter price that Viktor Astafiev, a man who never renounced what he wrote, had to pay for his desire to tell the truth, bitter and sad. The truth, which front-line writers of the Great Patriotic War were not silent about in their works; they said that the Russian people, who not only won, but also lost a lot in themselves, simultaneously with the influence of fascism experienced an oppressive influence Soviet system and your own internal strengths.

Bulat Okudzhava: a hundred times the sunset turned red...

The poems and songs of Bulat Okudzhava (“Prayer”, “Midnight Trolleybus”, “The Cheerful Drummer”, “Song about Soldier’s Boots”) are known throughout the country; his stories “Bless you, schoolboy”, “A date with Bonaparte”, “The Journey of Amateurs” are among best works Russian prose writers. Famous films - “Zhenya, Zhenechka and Katyusha”, “Loyalty”, of which he was a screenwriter, were watched by more than one generation, as well as the famous “Belorussky Station”, where he acted as a songwriter. The singer’s repertoire includes about 200 songs, each of which is filled with its own story.

Bulat Okudzhava, like other front-line writers (the photo can be seen above), was a bright symbol of his time; his concerts were always sold out, despite the lack of posters about his performances. Spectators shared their impressions and brought their friends and acquaintances. The whole country sang the song “We need one victory” from the film “Belorussky Station”.

Bulat became acquainted with the war at the age of seventeen, having volunteered for the front after the ninth grade. A private, soldier, mortarman, who fought mainly on the North Caucasus Front, was wounded by an enemy aircraft, and after recovery he ended up in the heavy artillery of the High Command. As Bulat Okudzhava said (and his fellow front-line writers agreed with him), everyone was afraid in the war, even those who considered themselves braver than others.

War through the eyes of Vasil Bykov

Coming from a Belarusian peasant family, Vasil Bykov went to the front at the age of 18 and fought until the Victory, passing through countries such as Romania, Hungary, and Austria. Was wounded twice; after demobilization he lived in Belarus, in the city of Grodno. The main theme of his works was not the war itself (historians, not front-line writers, should write about it), but the possibilities of the human spirit, manifested in such difficult conditions. A person must always remain a person and live according to his conscience; only in this case can the human race survive.

The peculiarities of Bykov's prose became the reason for accusing Soviet critics of desecrating the Soviet way. There was widespread persecution in the press, censorship of his works, and their banning. Due to such persecution and a sharp deterioration in health, the author was forced to leave his homeland and live for some time in the Czech Republic (the country of his sympathies), then in Finland and Germany.

The most famous works writer: “The Death of Man”, “Crane Cry”, “Alpine Ballad”, “Kruglyansky Bridge”, “It Doesn’t Hurt the Dead.” As Chingiz Aitmatov said, Bykov was saved by fate for honest and truthful creativity on behalf of an entire generation. Some works were filmed: “Until Dawn”, “The Third Rocket”.

Front-line writers: about the war in a poetic line

To the front talented girl Yulia Drunina, like many front-line writers, volunteered. In 1943, she was seriously wounded, due to which she was recognized as disabled and was discharged. This was followed by a return to the front, Yulia fought in the Baltic states and the Pskov region. In 1944, she was shell-shocked again and declared unfit for duty. further service. With the rank of sergeant major and the medal “For Courage,” after the war, Yulia published a collection of poems, “In a Soldier’s Overcoat,” dedicated to the time at the front. She was accepted into the Writers' Union and forever enrolled in the ranks of front-line poets, being assigned to the military generation.

Along with creativity and the release of such collections as “Anxiety”, “You Are Near”, “My Friend”, “Country of Youth”, “Trench Star”, Yulia Drunina was actively involved in literary and social work, was awarded prestigious prizes more than once elected member of the editorial board central newspapers and magazines, secretary of the board of various writers' unions. Despite universal respect and recognition, Julia devoted herself completely to poetry, describing in poetry the role of a woman in war, her courage and tolerance, as well as the incompatibility of the life-giving feminine principle with murder and destruction.

human destiny

Front-line writers and their works made a significant contribution to literature, conveying to posterity the truthfulness of the events of the war years. Perhaps one of our loved ones and relatives fought with them shoulder to shoulder and became the prototype for stories or tales.

In 1941, Yuri Bondarev - future writer- along with his peers, participated in the construction of defensive fortifications; After graduating from the infantry school, he fought at Stalingrad as a mortar crew commander. Then shell shock, slight frostbite and a wound in the back, which did not become an obstacle to returning to the front, participation in long haul to Poland and Czechoslovakia. After demobilization, Yuri Bondarev entered them. Gorky, where he had the opportunity to attend a creative seminar led by Konstantin Paustovsky, who instilled in the future writer a love for the great art of the pen and the ability to say his word.

All his life, Yuri remembered the smell of frozen, stone-hard bread and the aroma of cold burns in the steppes of Stalingrad, the icy cold of frost-hardened guns, the metal of which could be felt through his mittens, the stench of gunpowder from spent cartridges and the deserted silence of the starry night sky. The creativity of front-line writers is permeated with the acuteness of man’s unity with the Universe, his helplessness and at the same time incredible strength and perseverance, increasing a hundredfold in the face of terrible danger.

Yuri Bondarev became widely known for his stories “The Last Salvos” and “Battalions Ask for Fire,” which vividly depicted the reality of wartime. On topic Stalin's repressions The work “Silence” was drawn, highly praised by critics. The most famous novel, “Hot Snow,” acutely raises the theme of the heroism of the Soviet people during the period of their most difficult trials; the author described last days The Battle of Stalingrad and the people who stood up to defend their Motherland and own families from the fascist invaders. The red line runs through Stalingrad in all the works of the front-line writer as a symbol of soldier’s fortitude and courage. Bondarev never embellished the war and showed “little great people” who were doing their job: defending the Motherland.

During the war, Yuri Bondarev finally realized that a person is born not for hatred, but for love. It was in front-line conditions that the crystal clear commandments of love for the Motherland, loyalty and decency entered the writer’s consciousness. After all, in battle everything is naked, good and evil are distinguishable, and everyone made their own conscious choice. According to Yuri Bondarev, a person is given life for a reason, but to fulfill a certain mission, and it is important not to waste oneself on trifles, but to educate one’s own soul, fighting for a free existence and in the name of justice.

The writer's stories and novels have been translated into more than 70 languages, and during the period from 1958 to 1980, more than 130 works of Yuri Bondarev were published abroad, and films based on them (Hot Snow, Shore, Battalions Ask for Fire) watched by a huge audience.

The writer’s work has been noted by many public and state awards, including the most important thing - universal recognition and reader's love.

“An Inch of Earth” by Grigory Baklanov

Grigory Baklanov is the author of such works as “July of 1941”, “It was the month of May...”, “An Inch of Earth”, “Friends”, “I was not killed in the war”. During the war, he served in a howitzer artillery regiment, then, with the rank of officer, he commanded a battery and fought on the Southwestern Front until the end of the war, which he describes through the eyes of those who fought on the front line, with its menacing everyday life at the front. Causes of severe lesions on initial stage Baklanov explains the war by mass repressions, the atmosphere of general suspicion and fear that reigned in the pre-war period. Requiem for those destroyed by war to the younger generation, the exorbitantly high price for victory, became the story “Forever - Nineteen Years.”

In his works dedicated to the peace period, Baklanov returns to the destinies of former front-line soldiers who turned out to be distorted by a merciless totalitarian system. This is especially clearly shown in the story “Karpukhin”, where the life of the hero of the work was broken by official callousness. 8 films were made based on the writer’s scripts; the best film adaptation is “It was the month of May...”.

Military literature - for children

Children's writers who were front-line soldiers made a significant contribution to literature by writing works for teenagers about their peers - boys and girls just like them, who happened to live in wartime.

• A. Mityaev “The sixth incomplete.”
• A. Ochkin “Ivan - me, Fedorovs - we.”
• S. Alekseev “From Moscow to Berlin.”
• L. Kassil “Your defenders.”
• A. Gaidar “Timur’s Oath.”
• V. Kataev “Son of the Regiment”.
• L. Nikolskaya “Must stay alive.”

Front-line writers, the list of which above is far from complete, conveyed the terrible reality of war in a language accessible and understandable to children, tragic fates people and the courage and heroism they showed. These works cultivate the spirit of patriotism and love for the Motherland, teach to appreciate loved ones and relatives, and to preserve peace on our planet.

“Airport” is not a chronicle, not an investigation, not a chronicle. This is a work of fiction based on real facts. The book has many characters, many intertwining dramatic storylines. The novel is not only and not so much about war. It is about love, about betrayal, passion, betrayal, hatred, rage, tenderness, courage, pain and death. In other words, about our life today and yesterday. The novel begins at the Airport and unfolds minute by minute during the last five days of the more than 240-day siege. Although the novel is based on real facts, all the characters are fiction, like the name of the Airport. The small Ukrainian garrison of the Airport day and night repels attacks from an enemy that is many times superior to it in manpower and equipment. In this completely destroyed Airport, treacherous and cruel enemies are faced with something they did not expect and cannot believe. With cyborgs. The enemies themselves called the defenders of the Airport that way for their inhuman vitality and stubbornness of the doomed. Cyborgs, in turn, called their enemies orcs. Along with the cyborgs at the Airport there is an American photographer who, for a number of reasons, experiences this unnecessary war as a personal drama. Through his eyes, as if in a kaleidoscope, in the intervals between battles at the Airport, the reader will also see the whole history of what objective historians will call nothing less than the Russian-Ukrainian war.

The book is based on a life story real person. A former prisoner, a fighter of a penal company, and then a second lieutenant of the ROA and one of the leaders of the Kengir uprising of Gulag prisoners, Engels Ivanovich Sluchenkov. Eat amazing destinies. They look likeadventurenovels accompanied by fantastic escapades and incredible twists. FateEngels Sluchenkovwas from this series.There are rubbles of lies piled up around his name. His fate, on the one hand, looks like a feat, on the other, like a betrayal. But theyWith I consciously or was unknowingly the culprit these confused metamorphoses.

But to understand Sluchenkov as a person, not to justify, but only to understand, what way it became possible, that he is a Soviet citizen and soviet soldier went to fight against Stalin. In order to understand the reasons why that many thousands of Soviet citizens during the Second World War decided put on an enemy uniform and take up a weapon, against their own brothers and friends, we must live their lives. Find yourself in their place and in their shoes. We must transport ourselves to those times when a person is forced was to think one thing, say another and, in the end, do a third. AND at the same time retain the ability to be ready to one day resist such rules behavior, rebel and sacrifice not only his life, but also his good name.

Novels by Vladimir Pershanin "Penalty Man from a Tank Company", "Penalty Man, Tanker, Suicide Man" and " Last Stand Penalty" is the story of a Soviet man during the Great Patriotic War. Yesterday's student, who in June 41 had the opportunity to go to a tank school and, having gone through the terrible trials of war, become a real Tankman.

At the center of the novel "Family" is the fate of the main character Ivan Finogenovich Leonov, the writer's grandfather, in its direct connection with the major events in the now existing village of Nikolskoye from the late 19th to the 30s of the 20th century. The scale of the work, the novelty of the material, rare knowledge of the life of the Old Believers, and a correct understanding of the social situation put the novel among the significant works about the peasantry of Siberia

In August 1968, at the Ryazan Airborne School, two battalions of cadets (4 companies each) and a separate company of special forces cadets (9th company) were formed according to the new staff. The main task of the latter is to train group commanders for GRU special forces units and formations

The ninth company is perhaps the only one that has gone down in legend as an entire unit, and not as a specific roster. More than thirty years have passed since it ceased to exist, but its fame does not fade, but rather, on the contrary, grows.

Andrei Bronnikov was a cadet of the legendary 9th company in 1976–1980. Many years later, he honestly and in detail spoke about everything that happened to him during this time. Starting from the moment of admission and ending with the presentation of lieutenant shoulder straps...

Among the numerous works of fiction about the Great Patriotic War, Akulov’s novel “Baptism” stands out for its incorruptible objective truth, in which the tragic and the heroic are united like a monolith. This could only be created by a gifted artist of words, who personally went through a barrage of fire and metal, through frosty snow sprinkled with blood, and who saw death in the face more than once. The significance and strength of the novel “Baptism” is given not only by the truth of events, but also by classical artistry, the richness of Russian vernacular, volume and variety of created characters and images.

His characters, both privates and officers, are illuminated with a bright light that penetrates their psychology and spiritual world.

The novel recreates the events of the first months of the Great Patriotic War - the Nazi offensive near Moscow in the fall of 1941 and the rebuff that Soviet soldiers gave it. The author shows how sometimes difficult and confusing things are human destinies. Some become heroes, others take the disastrous path of betrayal. The image of a white birch - the favorite tree in Rus' - runs through the entire work. The first edition of the novel was published in 1947 and soon received Stalin Prize 1st degree and truly national recognition.

Military prose

War. From this word comes death, hunger, deprivation, disaster. No matter how much time passes after its end, people will remember it for a long time and mourn their losses. A writer’s duty is not to hide the truth, but to tell how everything really was in the war, to remember the exploits of heroes.

What is military prose?

War prose is a work of fiction that touches on the theme of war and man’s place in it. Military prose is often autobiographical or recorded from the words of eyewitnesses of events. Works about war raise universal, moral, social, psychological and even philosophical themes.

It is important to do this so that the generation that did not come into contact with the war knows what their ancestors went through. Military prose is divided into two periods. The first is writing stories, novels, and novels during hostilities. The second refers to the post-war period of writing. This is a time to rethink what happened and take an unbiased look from the outside.

In modern literature, two main directions of works can be distinguished:

1. Panoramic . The action in them takes place in different parts of the front at the same time: on the front line, in the rear, at headquarters. Writers in this case use original documents, maps, orders, and so on.
2. Tapered . These books tell a story about one or more main characters.

The main themes that are revealed in books about the war:

• Military operations on the front line;
• Guerrilla resistance;
• Civilian life behind enemy lines;
• Life of prisoners in concentration camps;
• The life of young soldiers at war.

Man and war

Many writers are interested not so much in reliably describing the combat missions performed by soldiers, but rather in exploring them moral qualities. The behavior of people in extreme conditions is very different from their usual way of a quiet life.

In war, many prove themselves the best side, others, on the contrary, do not withstand the test and “break”. The authors’ task is to explore the logic of behavior and inner world those and other characters . This is the main role writers - to help readers draw the right conclusion.

What is the importance of literature about war?

Against the backdrop of the horrors of war, a person with his own problems and experiences comes to the fore. The main characters not only perform feats on the front line, but also perform heroic deeds behind enemy lines and sitting in concentration camps.

Of course, we all must remember what price was paid for victory and draw a conclusion from this s. Everyone will find benefit for themselves by reading literature about the war. In our electronic library there are many books on this topic.

• Lev Kassil;

  Liesel's new father turned out to be a decent man. He hated the Nazis and hid a fugitive Jew in the basement. He also instilled in Liesel a love for books, which were mercilessly destroyed in those days. It is very interesting to read about the everyday life of Germans during the war. You rethink many things after reading.
