Author Anatoly Ivanov

Narrator Margarita Ivanova

A large-scale work covering vast historical events: 1905 and the October Revolution, the First World War and the Civil Wars, the Great Patriotic War and the restoration of the national economy and the country after the defeat of the fascist invaders. In the difficult destinies of the heroes, the living connection of times is expressed: from fathers to children, the baton of the struggle for justice is passed on.

The novel by Anatoly Ivanov—the winner of the USSR State Prize and Hero of Socialist Labor—“Eternal Call” is devoted to the family of Siberian peasants the Savelievs, and to the difficult, full of drama fates of three brothers—Anton, Fyodor, and Ivan. The first book covers the historical period (1902–1942), characterized by major revolutionary shifts and the social reorganization of society. Depicting peasants and workers, underground fighters and Chekists, party functionaries, fighters and commanders of the Red Army, the writer draws a broad picture of the formation and maturation of the new person.
