Description
Yuri Bondarev, like no one else, knew what war, horror, fear, and honest military prose are. And above all of this, he placed the person—always standing before two shores of a difficult moral choice!
Yuri Bondarev’s novel (1924–2020) “The Shore” (1975) is one of the writer’s most famous works, for which he received the USSR State Prize. In 1984, a film of the same name was made based on the novel.
The hero of the novel is the well-known writer Vadim Nikitin, a former front-line soldier, the commander of a platoon, who took part in the capture of Berlin. He arrives in Germany by invitation from Frau Gilbert and a literary club. Nikitin will be drawn into discussions and will exchange opinions on contemporary culture with writers from European countries. But the most important thing waiting for the writer in defeated Germany is a meeting with his distant wartime past—with the girl he loved then…
“Once there was Königsdorf—there was May, the sun, and we were young, and nothing restrained us—not even war. And how could we imagine then… that we would meet in Hamburg as other people—completely different people—who had lived an entire life?…”
