| Sommario/riassunto: | Curzio Malaparte's 'The Volga Rises in Europe' provides an eyewitness account of the early years of World War II, focusing on the German invasion of the Soviet Union. Malaparte, an Italian journalist, offers a vivid portrayal of the harsh realities on the Eastern Front, challenging the prevailing narratives of the time. His dispatches, originally published in the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, were controversial due to their objective reporting and perceived sympathy for Communist Russia. The book details Malaparte's observations and reflections on military events, Soviet society, and the ideological conflicts of the era. It serves as both a historical document and a critique of the biases in wartime journalism. The intended audience includes historians, journalists, and anyone interested in World War II history and Soviet affairs. |
