Why the honoree chose the book
This book is used in History 328 because, as the writer Isaac Babel noted, "If the world could write by itself, it would write like Tolstoy." This epic exploration of the human condition represents the intersection of history, memory, and literature. In so doing, it offers a tale that demonstrates the resiliency of the human spirit. Happy reading!
