Knjiga je odlicno ocuvana.



Ten years have passed since Nobel Prize laureate Alexander Solzhenitsyn`s first novel, One Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich, was published in the liberal Russian magazine Novy Mir; ten years in which Solzhenitsyn has plummeted from official favor and in which the brief liberalization of Soviet cencorship signaled by the novel`s publication has been reversed. Zhores Medvedev traces in harrowing detail the celebrated novelist`s developing encirclement - the machinations by which Solzhenitsyn was deprived of the Lenin Prize for One Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich, the forcible confiscation of his literary papers, the intrigues by which his second novel, Cancer Ward, was barred from publication, and the threats which induced the Writer`s Union to expel him.

The shocking inside story of Alexander Solzhenitsyn`s persecution in the Soviet Union, which began with the appearance of his novel One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch in 1963 and culminated in his exile from his native land in the late fall of 1973. Told by his close friend Zhores Medvedev, himself a victim of the same persecution and today a fellow exile, it is both an unforgettable picture of what life in Russia has been like for intellectuals in recent years and a tribute to a great artist`s courage and integrity. The Vintage edition includes a new, never before published Epilogue, covering the events of 1973 and Solzhenitsyn`s banishment
