Ο Σοβιετικός συγγραφέας Ίλια Έρενμπουργκ, στο 2ο Τόμο της Θύελλας συνεχίζει να εστιάζει τόσο στο επίκεντρο των πολεμικών επιχειρήσεων όσο και σε καθοριστικής σημασίας παράγοντες εξέλιξης της ανθρώπινης κοινωνίας. Με αυτόν τον τρόπο αποτυπώνεται ο ηρωισμός και η ηθική υπεροχή του αγωνιζόμενου λαού, που μάχεται σε καθημερινή βάση ενάντια στη ναζιστική επιβολή και τους εγχώριους στυλοβάτες της.
Στον αντίποδα του «παράξενου» πολέμου των Δυτικών ενάντια στους ναζί, βρίσκονται οι λαμπρές σελίδες ηρωισμού του Στάλινγκραντ, που σηματοδότησαν την καμπή της εξέλιξης του Β΄ Παγκόσμιου Πολέμου.
Έπαθλο τις τιτάνιας αυτής προσπάθειας για όλη την ανθρωπότητα αποτέλεσε η είσοδος του Κόκκινου Στρατού στο Βερολίνο και η συντριβή των ναζιστικών δυνάμεων.
Ilya Grigoryevich Ehrenburg (Russian: Илья Григорьевич Эренбург) was a Soviet writer, journalist, translator, and cultural figure.
Ehrenburg is among the most prolific and notable authors of the Soviet Union; he published around one hundred titles. He became known first and foremost as a novelist and a journalist - in particular, as a reporter in three wars (First World War, Spanish Civil War and the Second World War). His articles on the Second World War have provoked intense controversies in West Germany, especially during the sixties.
The novel The Thaw (Оттепель) gave its name to an entire era of Soviet cultural politics, namely, the liberalization after the death of Joseph Stalin. Ehrenburg's travel writing also had great resonance, as did to an arguably greater extent his autobiography People, Years, Life, which may be his best known and most discussed work. The Black Book, edited by him and Vassily Grossman, has special historical significance; detailing the genocide on Soviet citizens of Jewish ancestry, it is the first great documentary work on the Holocaust.
In addition, Ehrenburg wrote a succession of works of poetry.
Paris Düşerken serisi 3. kitap olan Fırtına 2. ile devam etti. Serinin bu ciltinde Almanların Rusya ve çevresindeki faaliyetlerine şahit olduk. Arada ufak tefek tempolar düşse de iyi bir kitaptı. Okuyucular için spoiler vermeyim ama Almanlar istediklerini alamadılar. Aslında Ehrenburg bana göre biraz fazla Hitlerin üzerine gitmiş, kendilerini çok karaladığını göremedim. Araya birkaç kitap koyduktan sonra Dipten Gelen Dalga kitaplarına devam edeceğim. Şimdilik benden bu kadar...
