There is always a tendency, on the part of his detractors, to make of Solzhenitsyn something less than he is, but here is further evidence that he is something more than even his admirers thought. - Clive James, \u003ci\u003e New Statesman\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAleksandr Solzhenitsyn\u003c\/b\u003e (1918-2008), winner of the 1970 Nobel Prize in Literature, was serving the Soviet Army in 1945 when he was arrested and sentenced to eight years in a labor camp, later cut short by Khrushchev's reforms. Although permitted to publish \u003ci\u003eOne Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich\u003c\/i\u003e, Solzhenitsyn was expelled from the Writers' Union in 1969. The Western publication of his other novels, particularly \u003ci\u003eThe Gulag Archipelago\u003c\/i\u003e, brought retaliation: in 1974, Solzhenitsyn was stripped of his citizenship and forcibly flown to Frankfurt. In 1991, the Soviet government dismissed treason charges against him, and Solzhenitsyn returned to Russia in 1994.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.34 x 8.7 x 5.64 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 01, 1977\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51748590027040,"sku":"9780374513917","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/ba097ebac748f1f41cb62e5678d4cad3.webp?v=1779912150","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/prussian-nights-bilingual-edition-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
