 August 1914 (Solzhenitsyn, Aleksandr Isaevich, Krasnoe Koleso. Knot 1.)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Solzhenitsyn is one of my hero?s, a moral voice speaking against the tyranny of Soviet repression.
Partly this occurs because Solzhenitsyn, as he did in his earler works, is pursuing his own agenda and is unable or unwilling to provide a dispassioned viewpoint (one need only skim through Lenin in Zurich, originally part of August 1914).
Solzhenitsyn's intent is to create a work which shows how communism came to power and he uses the beginning of the first world war as a jumping off point.

The Gulag Archipelago: 1918-1956 by Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn
Alexander Solzhenitsyn may have won the Nobel Prize, but I think the people in Stockholm would have been within their rights to ask for their money back with this one.
Although Solzhenitsyn wasn't born until 1918, it's as if he were strolling alongside Gorky and Tomchak and the other personalities that feature into his tale during that awful time.

Solzhenitsyn was banished from the Soviet Union on February 13, 1974, just two months after portions of this work began appearing in print in the West, after the KGB had obtained a draft copy.
Solzhenitsyn's life was only spared because he was already a Nobel Laureate by then, having won the prize in 1970, though he was forbidden to travel outside the country at that time to accept it.
Solzhenitsyn began the process of yanking this prop out from under them, of demonstrating that the system was rotten to its evil core, that no past actions were justified and no just future was possible.

 BookkooB: Cancer Ward - Aleksandr Isaevich Solzhenitsyn
Cancer Ward is simultaneously, an indictment of the USSR'S ideological orientation and bureaucratic centralization, a breakdown of the stratification within Russian society and above all, a fable of human resilience in the face of overwhelming adversity.
Solzhenitsyn's remit extends beyond a spectral analysis of the relations between the individual and society.
In describing the subtleties of his characters and their relationships, he depicts the Russian citizen as possessing the same emotions and vulnerabilities as we would expect of ourselves in the west, demonstrating his contempt for the archetype of mechanically engineered Soviet man that was held up as a model to aspire to during those times.

 The American Spectator
Solzhenitsyn's book or even bothered to look up the word gulag on the online encyclopedia.
Zubaida Khan would have been amazed to learn that the 30 million inmates of the secret Soviet camps were by and large political prisoners, writers, and dissidents like Solzhenitsyn (arrested for writing a private letter criticizing Stalin), or Soviet soldiers welcomed home from years in German prison camps with a one-way ticket to Siberia.
We have been happily borne -- or perhaps have unhappily dragged our weary way -- down the long and crooked streets of our lives, past all kinds of walls and fences made of rotting wood, rammed earth, brick, concrete, iron railings.

Above you will see a list of UK book stores, along with their stock and price details for August 1914 by Aleksandr Isaevich Solzhenitsyn.
It's a depressingly familiar story, but Solzhenitsyn's ability to fire your sympathy for individual characters, despite their flaws, still had me biting my fist and begging that the inevitable didn't happen, and outraged by the hypocrisy in high places which betrayed the sacrifice of the men at the front line.
A narrative which moves from one part of the scattered Russian armies to another is united by the figure of Colonel Vorotyntsev, an idealistic young officer who tries against the odds to co-ordinate Russian efforts against the German forces, superior in strategy, communications and modern weaponry.

 'Warning to the West' by Aleksandr Isaevich Solzhenitsyn (Books) - American Poems
It is a somewhat daunting task to attempt to write an articulate review when Solzhenitsyn is so incredibly articulate himself.
Suffice it to say that this book should be required reading for all world citizens, but especially those of us who carry American citizenship.
In reading these words, now a quarter of a century old, it is not at all a stretch to apply them to our present situation.
