English edition: And Quiet Flows the Don by Mikhail Sholokhov

Wonderful!
I started the book knowing it was only the first volume of the "epic of the Don", ..."

Ah! I am immensely jealous of you now Dely. This is one book I have been looking for ever since I read an extract from this book. I do hope I find this book somewhere this year. And it seems like it is worth the trouble to hunt for this book. :D

It is really worth to be read and I hope you will find it. I am sure it is easy to find in English, I instead had a lot of problems to find an Italian edition.

I just searched for it online and just the first book (imported) costs about 17 Euros which is just too expensive. I will check out a second hand book shop soon.

If you have an e-reader you can look for the ebook, I am sure it is cheaper.

The complete work? Nearly 2000 pages? Yes, I know but it is not a hard read and also the style is flowing so also if there are a lot of pages it is a pleasant read.

my edition has 1335 pages for the 4 books. whoever had purchased it before me must have felt daunted too, because it is in mint condition: no underlining, no annotation, not even a folded corner
