Dear Planeteers!

In the two photos from 1943 we see a young Soviet writer who was deployed in the war as a so-called "front correspondent".

He doesn't seem to enjoy this activity so much, as the expression on his face tells us ...





A little over ten years later, he became world famous through a novel he wrote. The novel was also made into a movie. Everyone knows the theme melody created by a French composer!

1. Who is the man in the photos?
2. What is the name of the novel?
3. Who is the composer who created the music and the theme melody for the movie?

Wish you success!



Cheers

Not so sure on this one but here goes:-

And quiet flows the Don

Pyotr Glebov as Grigori Melekhov

Elina Kirienko as Aksiniya

 

[Martin Antonenko]

Right, it's Mikhail Scholochow!

But when she played "Aksinja Astachowa" in the movie her Name was Elina Bystritzkaja.
