"The author of the most poignant books about the war", "the most widely read Belarusian author in the whole world", "the last realistic writer in Europe" — all this is said about Vasil Bykov.Three days before the start of the Great Patriotic War, Vasil Bykov turned 17 years old. In 1942, yesterday's student of the Vitebsk Art College and the graduate of the Vitebsk Factory Training School was called up to the front, where he participated in the battles for Krivoy Rog, Alexandria, Znamenka, marched through Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Austria, and was wounded twice. In 1947, the young writer's first short story was published.Bykov's works marked a new stage in the literary understanding of military events, combining the tragic specifics of the war, the "trench truth", with the eternal problems of existence. How can humanity be preserved in inhumane circumstances? Which is to save amid the horrors of war — the body or the soul? What does a person suffer for, does he live only for himself? The characters of Vasil Bykov, an outstanding master of military prose of the twentieth century, are looking for answers to these and other questions.The collection includes the famous stories "The Alpine Ballad", "Sotnikov", "Obelisk", "To live until dawn", "His battalion", "To go and not return".
