Description
Six fighters, one day, one railway crossing—and no pompous victory, only the trench-level truth of war.
Vasily Bykov, who himself was considered dead at the front, shows how, in the hell of battle, a person fights to preserve their humanity.
“The Crane’s Cry” is not just a story for extracurricular reading; it is a lesson in courage and honesty.
Vasyl Bykov is a well-known Belarusian writer whose works about the Great Patriotic War became part of the golden fund of Soviet literature. The writer himself went through military ordeals and for a time was even considered dead. Vasyl Bykov wrote not only about heroism and major battles, but also about the fears and doubts of ordinary soldiers, and about the striving to keep one’s humanity. In the novella “The Crane’s Cry,” the story is told of six Red Army soldiers who, in the autumn of 1941, during the course of a single day, defended a railway crossing. The work is included in the extracurricular reading program for basic education and fosters patriotism and love for the Motherland.
