THE SAVAGENESS OF WAR THROUGH THE GROWN-UP EYES OF A CHILD

Long regarded as the greatest Soviet novel of World War II-comparable in stature to Norman Mailer's The Naked and the Dead and Jerzy Kosinski's The Painted Bird-Barbi Yar is a vivid and disturbing story of the childhood experiences of a young Russian living in the Ukraine at the time of the Nazi invasion.

Out of the searing ordeal of those years,A.Anatoli(Kuznetsov)has created a novel of unsparing truth-a devastating document that, once read, can never be forgotten.
