نبذة عن الكتاب:

Ordeal: Book Two (1918) by Alexei Tolstoy, an essential part of his monumental trilogy "The Road to Calvary," plunges the reader into the tumultuous year 1918 amidst the Russian Civil War. This volume intricately weaves the personal fates of its protagonists—Dasha, Katya, Telegin, and Roshchin—against the backdrop of societal collapse, ideological conflict, and profound human suffering. Tolstoy masterfully explores themes of love, loss, loyalty, and the relentless search for truth and meaning in a world irrevocably transformed by revolution and violence, offering a poignant and expansive portrait of a nation in torment.
