Robert Chandler provides below an introduction to the novel, Grossman and this edition of “Stalingrad.” It is followed by an excerpt describing Stalingrad’s last hours of peace and the horror of the first strike.
We couldn’t wait to read it, and asked for permission to publish an excerpt in advance of the publication.
Edited by Robert Chandler and Yury Bit-Yunan and translated from the Russian by Robert and Elizabeth Chandler, it promises to, if not revolutionize readers’ understanding of Vasily Grossman, then at least expand and augment it. In June a new translation of a new version of Vasily Grossman’s “Stalingrad” is being released.
