Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

A thoughtful study of the great Russian writer delves deeply into the paradoxical, often pessimistic genius of the Nobel Prize Winner's life. Original.

Contraportada:

"Man has set for himself the goal of conquering the world but in the process loses his soul." "The author has grasped with great insight the spiritual core of Solzhenitsyn's achievement as a writer, and indeed as a prophet to Russia and the world. He writes with warm sympathy for Russia's greatest literary voice in modern times."--David Aikman, author of Great Souls: Six Who Changed the Century"Joseph Pearce offers a full-fledged biography of Solzhenitsyn, one based in substantial measure on the spadework of earlier researchers, yet with an emphasis markedly his own. Pearce has paid Solzhenitsyn the compliment of taking his moral beliefs and aspirations seriously, in this sense going beyond the issues of politics and ideology (but which he also treats with care and understanding)."--Alexis Klimoff, professor of Russian Studies, Vassar College"Joseph Pearce is best on what matters most about Solzhenitsyn: the centrality of the author's Christian faith. It is no wonder that Solzhenitsyn chose to . . . provide him with fresh information. Newcomers to Solzhenitsyn should start with this biography. They will find here a highly readable rendition of one of the most sensational lives of the twentieth century."--Edward E. Ericson, Jr., author of Solzhenitsyn and the Modern World,professor of English, Calvin College
