Quiet StreetFew books of Russian origin have carried such a deeply universal appeal as this novel of the Revolution, and none have handled the events of that terrific time with such detachment. Michael Ossorgin has been able to realize living characters against the background of the Revolution without losing them in either its darkness or its brilliance. An incredibly in-depth historical accounting of the Russian Revolution, its time, and its people. |
