Description MIKHAIL SHOLOKHOV (1905-1984) was a Russian novelist who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1965 "for the artistic power and integrity with which, in his epic of the Don, he has given expression to a historic phase in the life of the Russian people." His first book, TALES FROM THE DON (1925), is a volume of stories about his native region during World War I and the Russian Civil War, largely based on his personal experiences, was published in 1926. The story "Nakhalyonok", partially based on his own childhood, was later made into a popular film. In the same year Sholokhov began writing the epic novel AND QUIET FLOWS THE DON which earned the Stalin Prize and took him fourteen years to complete (1926–1940). It became the most-read work of Soviet fiction and was heralded as a powerful example of socialist realism, and it earned him the 1965 Nobel Prize in Literature. It deals with the lives and struggles of the don Cossacks before and during World War I and the Russian Civil War. This was followed by THE DON FLOWS HOME TO THE SEA (1928-1940) which depicts the destruction of Cossack society during the Civil War. It tells the story of Grigory Melekhov and his tragic affair with Aksinia, the wife of a neighbour, and how he fights for the Reds, the Whites, and the Partisans. HARVEST ON THE DON (1960) also reflects life during collectivization in the Don area.
