Ehrenburg's writings show great diversity of theme and genre. Whether the work at hand was a purely literary article or a novel of fantastic cast, a story of adventure or a delicately penned novelette, a book of verse or a political pamphlet, whether he was dispensing humor or the comments of a journalist, he wielded pen with equal mastery and brilliance.
Ilya Grigoryevich Ehrenburg (Russian: 袠谢褜褟 袚褉懈谐芯褉褜械胁懈褔 协褉械薪斜褍褉谐) was a Soviet writer, journalist, translator, and cultural figure.
Ehrenburg is among the most prolific and notable authors of the Soviet Union; he published around one hundred titles. He became known first and foremost as a novelist and a journalist - in particular, as a reporter in three wars (First World War, Spanish Civil War and the Second World War). His articles on the Second World War have provoked intense controversies in West Germany, especially during the sixties.
The novel The Thaw (袨褌褌械锌械谢褜) gave its name to an entire era of Soviet cultural politics, namely, the liberalization after the death of Joseph Stalin. Ehrenburg's travel writing also had great resonance, as did to an arguably greater extent his autobiography People, Years, Life, which may be his best known and most discussed work. The Black Book, edited by him and Vassily Grossman, has special historical significance; detailing the genocide on Soviet citizens of Jewish ancestry, it is the first great documentary work on the Holocaust.
In addition, Ehrenburg wrote a succession of works of poetry.
Ciekawe spotkanie z najwa偶niejsz膮 wojenn膮 powie艣ci膮 Zwi膮zku Radzieckiego, obok 呕ycia i Losu Grossmana. Czasem mam wra偶enie, 偶e krytykowanie jej jest zabaw膮 z poziomu walki z klasykami literatury rosyjskiej, jednak nie jest to poziom To艂stoja, do kt贸rego tak ch臋tnie odwo艂uje si臋 Erynburg poprzez swoich bohater贸w. Zabawnym sie wydaje, 偶e postaci膮 najbardziej z艂o偶on膮 jest Lancier, zawsze id膮cy z pr膮dem bohater spod Verdun i bohater umiejac膮 dopasowa膰 si臋 do ka偶dego pr膮du i w艂adzy, jednocze艣nie trudno do niej nie czu膰 obrzydzenia, podobnie jak wi臋kszo艣ci Niemc贸w. Ci ostatni nie s膮 jednak wyjeci z artyku艂贸w Erenburga z Kresnej Zwiezdy, gdzie wzywa艂 do ich wybicia, czy poezji, to antropolog, architekt, kupiec, kt贸rzy staj膮 si臋 karami, lecz mamy tak偶e Ann臋 Roth bohaterk臋 wojny domowej w Hiszpanii. Zar贸wno Siergiej jak Mado s膮 jednak p艂ytcy i w swojej mi艂o艣ci i wy艂膮cznie zaanga偶owani w spraw臋 komunistyczn膮. Czytelnikiem najmocniej wstrz膮sa opis zbrodni w Babim Jarze.
