A major biography of the enigmatic and elusive writer. The political reactionary who spoke out against Communism now lives in seclusion, having withdrawn from Western culture and materialism.
Arguably one of the most significant writers of the twentieth century, Solzhenitsyn has, since the fall of Communism, spoken out against the current Russian regime and now lives in seclusion.
His faith has always deeply informed his literary and artistic approach and his response to the excesses of modern materialism. On the spiritual, cultural, and socio-political level, his writings have much to teach the world as it prepares for the new millennium.
Based on personal interviews with Solzhenitsyn and his family, Joseph Pearce’s major new book provides a profoundly fascinating insight into a towering literary and political figure.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. "Based on exclusive, personal interviews with Solzhenitsyn himself, Joseph Pearce's major new book provides a profound insight into a towering literary and political figure." "From his pro-Communist youth to his imprisonment in the Gulags, his exile in America to his return to Russia, this is the story of a man who has struggled with the most weighty questions of humanity. When a person has suffered the most terrible physical and emotional torture, what becomes of his spirit? Can politics and economics truly provide the answers a modern society needs? If peace and justice are never fully attained, what hope is there for the future?" "This new biography contains previously unpublished prose poems, written by Solzhenitsyn since his return to Russia. Many of the photographs are also published here for the first time."--Jacket. Artikel-Nr. fc802885-a282-45e9-a343-9cbd88ad7cf7
