"Crudele è la potenza della fame": leggendo Tutto scorre... di Vasilij Grossman

In this paper the author investigates the passages dedicated to the theme of food (from abundance or lack of food to the tragedy of the Great Famine) in the novel Everything flows by V. Grossman. Through the theme of food, the analysis shows the completeness and the artistic value of this novel, which, alongside with Life and Fate, is one of the most important among Grossman's works, though it remained unpublished until 1970 and it has been studied little up to now.
