  Michail Aleksandrovich Sholokhov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sholokhov was born in the Kamenskaya region of Russia, in the "land of the Cossacks" - the Kruzhlinin hamlet, part of stanitsa Veshenskaya, the former Region of the Don Cossack Army.
His first book Tales from the Don, a volume of stories about the Cossacks of his native region during World War I and the Russian Civil War, was published in 1926.
In the same year Sholokhov began writing And Quiet Flows the Don which earned the Stalin Prize and took him fourteen years to complete (1926-1940).

Mikhail Sholokhov was born in the Kruzhlinin hamlet, part of stanitsa Veshenskaya, a former Region of the Don Cossack Army.
The novel depicts the collectivisation of agriculture in a Don Cossack village.
Quiet Flows the Don is Sholokhov most controversial work and it has been alleged by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn among others, that much of the novel was plagiarized from the writer Fyodor Kryukov, a Cossak and anti-Bolshevik, who died in 1920.

Soviet author Mikhail Sholokhov, a Communist Party stalwart who wrote "Quiet Flows the Don" and won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1965, has died at age 78.
The death was announced yesterday by Radio Moscow's English-language service, which referred to him as "the great Soviet writer." Official Soviet sources said he died Monday night at Rostov-on-Don, the southern city where he lived most of his life.
The epic, which depicted Don River Cossacks caught up in the civil war that followed the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, was completed in 1940 and translated into at least 73 languages.

A comparative study of "Tales Of The Don", Sholokhov's early work that heralded the appearance of a new rising star on the literary horizon, prove that both "Tales Of The Don" and "And Quiet Flows The Don" were written by the same author.
His vivid, colourful descriptions of the life and ways of the Don Cossacks, their centuries-old traditions mingle with deep reflections on the future of Cossacks and the essence of life.
In a preface to the English translation of "And Quite Flows The Don" Sholokhov wrote: "I am not the least confused by the fact that my novel is being perceived as exotic in Britain.

Sholokhov gained world fame with his novel TICHII DON (Quiet Flows the Don), which won the Stalin Prize in 1941.
Quiet Flows the Don is Sholokhov most controversial work and it has been alleged by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn among others, that much of the novel was plagiarized from the writer Fyodor Kryukov, a Cossak and anti-Bolshevik, who died in 1920 of typhoid fever.

This is one of those movies which would haunt you again and again after you watched it once.
Thikhiy Don depicts life of two -- man and woman, their love, their hardships, their fight for their love and all this happens against the backdrop of a wide picture of life of the whole country during a very dramatical and crucial period of Russia, including WW1, civilian war,and a lot of others events.

Sholokhov's book introduces the reader to a New World that is not merely the Don Region, but the world of the author's inimitably poetic prose; giving fifteen years of his life to the creation of And Quiet Flows the Don.
While Leo Tolstoy’s novel War and Peace (1863-69) immortalized the Napoleonic campaigns to the eve of the Decembrist revolt, And Quiet Flows the Don showed the destruction of the Cossacks and the birth of a new society.
I have yet to conclude this epic w/ The Don Flows Home to the Sea, but the glimpse of peace and yearning for tranquility have long glittered in the eyes of Gregor and his brothers/comrades, exhausted by struggles.

 And Quiet Flows the Don )
AND QUIET FLOWS THE DON is the best war novel in Soviet times, the best Mikhail Sholokhov ever wrote and one of the all time best war novels.
This epic story grapples with the blindness of war where people engage in killing each other even after they have forgotten the causes and purpose of the war, regarding instead those close by as the real enemies when in reality they are fighting for the enemy who are those who manipulated them into war.
The quiet, rural lifestyle of the Don Cossacks is to be smashed into oblivion and we view this with increasing nervousness, more so than the finely delineated characters do, who approach matters with more of a fatalistic resignation.

I have also read Quiet Flows The Don' but not sure of the author as it was a number of years ago, good but not to read again.
It's part of his famous and sometimes problematic novel Tikhy Don ("The Silent Don"), a portrayal of the Don Cossacks fight for independence against the Bolsheviks.
Yes you are correct as far as the Russian release goes, it was one novel in 4 parts BUT in the English version it was relased as two major subnovels "And Quiet Flows The Don" and "The Don Flows Home To The Sea".
