英国《金融时报》专栏作家吉迪恩·拉赫曼认为，俄国作家格罗斯曼的小说《生活与命运》是自由主义理想的宣言，可以和托尔斯泰的小说《战争与和平》相媲美。Photo credit: Getty Images全文共867个单词。The liberal tradition is weak in Russia. But I recently came across one of the most inspiring statements of the liberal ideal that I have ever read, in the work of a great Russian novelist, Vasily Grossman. At a time when both the right and left are increasingly obsessed by group rights, Grossman’s argument for the primacy of the individual still feels vital and urgent, 60 years after it was written.俄罗斯的自由主义传统比较薄弱。但我最近在伟大的俄国小说家瓦西里•格罗斯曼(Vasily Grossman)的一部作品中，读到了我所读过的最鼓舞人心的自由主义理想宣言之一。 ………………………………
