Summary
Mikhail Sholokhov’s groundbreaking epic novel gives a sweeping depiction of Russian life and culture in the early 20th century. In the same vein as War and Peace, by Leo Tolstoy, And Quiet Flows the Don gives listeners a glimpse into many aspects of Russian culture, and the choices a country makes when faced with war and destruction.

THE WAY TO CONTENTMENT.
The opening chapters could be many families anywhere in the world, the stories are the same, family, love, betrayals, affairs etc. But then the 1st war war interrupts life, and just like stories I heard from other eras, people change. The book does point out the pointlessness of war, and how the lower ranks are treated as fodder by the upper classes. One can be begin to understand why the Russian Revolution happened. Are things any better? Doubtful.
Living a life in a backwater is the best option, trust family, control lust, eat well and read, read, read. That's the way to contentment

An amazing Russian novel
This story covers the story of a family around the time of world war 1. It is descriptive and insightful, a wonderful book.

This is not the full book
This is not the full book - the reading finishes half way, which is not advertised.

half a great book, what's the point?
one of the 3 greatest books of the soviet period along with dr zhivago and master and margherita, usually overlooked due to the authors relationship and closeness with stalin's regime.
Whoever made it cuts it off long before the end and the most important parts. why? where else would accept selling a product that shoddily finished?

Only 1/2 of the novel!!
I loved the performance and book - but discovered a few weeks later that this audiobook only contains the first 1/2 of the novel. Only realized when I began reading the sequel and noticed glaring gaps. Absolutely crazy that this is advertised as the full novel. Seriously, what is going on?

Caution - not the whole book!
This is only the first part, although the description does not tell it. The narrator is good, but now you gotta read the rest elsewhere.
