静静的顿河
Like the other novels of Jakov Xoxa (notably "White Juga" ), it encompasses a vast number of characters and is also imbued with the realism of pre-World War II Albania, in which the main story is set. It is one of the few works of early socialist realism in Albania which contains literary merits. As many works of that period, it used the Soviet literary model of Sholokhov's "And Quiet Flows the Don".
