Life and Fate

Vasily Grossman · L'Âge d'Homme, Lausanne · 1980

Russian true first: L'Âge d'Homme, Lausanne, 1980. First in English: Collins Harvill, London, 1985 (Chandler), which precedes the first American edition (Harper & Row, New York, 1986) by a year — so the census 'UK precedes US' holds. Both English editions are collected; the London 1985 is the first English appearance.
