Ilya Ehrenburg was born in 1891 into the family of a Moscow
manufacturer. At the age of fifteen he joined the revolutionary
movement. He was expelled from the gymnasium for distributing
Bolshevik leaflets, was arrested and served more than a year in
prison. From 1909 to 1917 he was a resident of Paris and did much
traveling throughout Europe. It was at this time that he took to
writing poetry, which he printed in Russia and other countries. In
1917 he returned to his native country. In 1921 he again left for
France, and lived in Paris, making frequent trips to the Soviet
Union.Ehrenburg's writings show great diversity of theme and genre.
Whether the work at hand was a purely literary article or a novel
of fantastic cast, a story of adventure or a delicately penned
novelette, a book of verse or a political pamphlet, whether he was
dispensing humor or the comments of a journalist, he wielded pen
with equal mastery and brilliance.The Storm was the Stalin Prize
Novel for 1947.
