Summary:
"The action takes place in the 1930s, after collectivization has been achieved. A tank driver, Klim Iarko ... has been demobilized from the front line against Japan on the Soviet frontier with Manchuria and is traveling back to Moscow by train with his two comrades. ... Klim, however, seeing a picture in Pravda ... of the shock-farmworker, Mariana Bazhan ... decides to travel to the Ukrainian kolkhoz where she lives and works. ... The newly arrived Klim sets about galvanizing the kolkhoz into action with his technical expertise."--Richard Taylor, Slavic Review.
