Enter e-mail address: Search GradeSaver dictionary thesaurus Hosted by pair Networks Biography of Alexander Solzhenitsyn Alexander Isayevich Solzhenitsyn was born on December 11, 1918, in the spa town of Kislovodsk in the North Caucausus mountains. His father, a former philology student at Moscow University, had died in World War I six months before his only son's birth. Alexander Isaevich, therefore, was born to a widowed mother in relatively indigent circumstances. The elder Solzhenitsyn had volunteered from the army, abandoning his course of study, in 1914 and had served as an artillery officer on the German front. He was an officer in the Grenadier Artillery Brigade and a member of a battery that remained on the front lines until the Treaty of Brest. He and Alexander's mother had been married on the front lines by a brigade priest. Though he returned home from the war in the spring of 1918, he died soon after as the result of an accident and poor medical care. Solzhenitsyn's mother never remarried, partially because of her fear that a new husband would be too strict a step-father to her son. She was an educated woman, fluent in French and English, and supported herself and her son by working as a typist and stenographer. Beginning in 1924, the two lived in Rostov-on-Don. They were forced to rent rooms and huts from private owners because the state did not provide them with a room. After fifteen years, they were finally given a drafty room in a reconstructed stable.

CHAPTER ONE ANCESTRAL VOICES I saw it fifty years ago Before the thunderbolt had riven it, Green leaves, ripe leaves, leaves thick as butter, Fat, greasy life.... W. B. YEATS, Purgatory HAPPY IS THE WRITER WHO REMEMBERS DRAWING IN THE DEVOTED love of a woman and, through her, the riches of his native traditions. For Pushkin, at the start of the nineteenth century, that woman was his nurse, Arina Rodionovna, whose simple peasant love consoled him for the coldness of his mother. The fairy tales and folk stories she told him in Russian broke through the genteel French of polite society. He paid tribute to her in a tender poem that imagines her sighing like a sentry on guard, at an upstairs window, her gnarled hands knitting more slowly now, as she gazes at the forgotten gate, the distant blackened road; he is late, and she fearfully imagines ... The lyrical fragment breaks off at that point. But their two imaginings have touched for a moment again in his adulthood and his adulteries.

24. Alexander Solzhenitsyn - Autobiography Brief biography in his own words. http://nobel.sdsc.edu/literature/laureates/1970/solzhenitsyn-autobio.html

Rostov University , where it proved that I had considerable aptitude for mathematics. But although I found it easy to learn this subject, I did not feel that I wished to devote my whole life to it. Nevertheless, it was to play a beneficial role in my destiny later on, and on at least two occasions, it rescued me from death. For I would probably not have survived the eight years in camps if I had not, as a mathematician, been transferred to a so-called sharashia , where I spent four years; and later, during my exile, I was allowed to teach mathematics and physics, which helped to ease my existence and made it possible for me to write. If I had had a literary education it is quite likely that I should not have survived these ordeals but would instead have been subjected to even greater pressures. Later on, it is true, I began to get some literary education as well; this was from 1939 to 1941, during which time, along with university studies in physics and mathematics, I also studied by correspondence at the Institute of History, Philosophy and Literature in Moscow. In 1941, a few days before the outbreak of the war, I graduated from the Department of Physics and Mathematics at Rostov University. At the beginning of the war, owing to weak health, I was detailed to serve as a driver of horsedrawn vehicles during the winter of 1941-1942. Later, because of my mathematical knowledge, I was transferred to an artillery school, from which, after a crash course, I passed out in November 1942. Immediately after this I was put in command of an artillery-position-finding company, and in this capacity, served, without a break, right in the front line until I was arrested in February 1945. This happened in East Prussia, a region which is linked with my destiny in a remarkable way. As early as 1937, as a first-year student, I chose to write a descriptive essay on "The Samsonov Disaster" of 1914 in East Prussia and studied material on this; and in 1945 I myself went to this area (at the time of writing, autumn 1970, the book

Literature transmits incontrovertible condensed experience . . . from generation to generation. In this way literature becomes the living memory of a nation. Generosity is a two-edged virtue for an artist - it nourishes his imagination but has a fatal effect on his routine. It is not the level of prosperity that makes for happiness but the kinship of heart to heart and the way we look at the world. Both attitudes are within our power . . . a man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy, and no one can stop him. A great writer is, so to speak, a second government in his country. And for that reason no regime has ever loved great writers, only minor ones.

Danny Yee's Book Reviews Subjects Titles Authors ... Latest August 1914 Alexander Solzhenitsyn [translated from the Russian by Michael Glenny] The Bodley Head 1972 A book review by Danny Yee At the outset of World War I, two Russian armies invaded East Prussia. Using their superbly efficient railway system, the outnumbered Germans concentrated their forces against the Russian Second Army, and in the battle of Tannenberg they surrounded and destroyed its central corps. Solzhenitsyn's novel August 1914 tells the story of Tannenberg from the Russian perspective. Concentrating more on the "fog of war" at the army and corps level than on the horrors of the front line, Solzhenitsyn has produced one of the best fictional reconstructions of a battle I have read. He exposes with brutal clarity the poor organisation and planning of the Russian army (commands were sent unencrypted over the radio!) and the failings of the Russian leaders, ranging from incompetence and selfishness to outright cowardice. The hero of the novel is an energetic staff officer named Vorotyntsev, who does his best to fix the bungling of his superiors and who refuses to remain silent when it is all over. The other hero is, of course, the ordinary Russian soldier - whenever we are given a close up view of the actual front-line action, things seem mysteriously rosier (and local Russian successes are given disproportionate coverage). No doubt this helped make the book palatable to Russian readers, but it also fits in with Solzhenitsyn's own brand of nationalism.

He was in prison and exile 194557 for anti-Stalinist comments. Much of his writing is semi-autobiographical and highly critical of the system, including One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich (1962), which deals with the labour camps under Stalin, and The Gulag Archipelago (1973), an expos of the whole Soviet labour-camp network. This led to his expulsion from the USSR in 1974. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1970. Other works include The First Circle and Cancer Ward , (both 1968), and his historical novel August 1914 (1971). His autobiography, The Oak and the Calf , appeared in 1980. He has adopted a Christian position, and his criticism of Western materialism is also stringent. In 1991, cleared of the original charges of treason, he returned to Russia.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Ah, but not simply to report as usual to the authorities for the daily assignment. Shukhov remembered that this morning his fate hung in the balance: they wanted to shift the 104th from the building shops to a new site, the "Socialist Way of Life" settlement. It lay in open country covered with snowdrifts, and before anything else could be done there they would have to dig holes and put up posts and attach barbed wire to them. Wire themselves in, so that they wouldn't run away. Only then would they start building. There wouldn't be a warm corner for a whole month. Not even a doghouse. And fires were out of the question. There was nothing to build them with. Let your work warm you up, that was your only salvation. from One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich (translated by Ralph Parker) One of the leading Russian writers of the 20th century, Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn , b. Rostov-on-Don, Dec. 11 (N.S.), 1918, received the Nobel Prize for literature in 1970 "for the ethical force with which he has pursued the indispensable traditions of Russian literature." Solzhenitsyn's novels are autobiographical, presenting a vivid account of a man maintaining his freedom against the vicious repressions of an authoritarian regime. Clearly a novelist in the 19th-century tradition, he is often considered Russia's greatest 20th-century novelist. Solzhenitsyn studied mathematics and physics at the University of Rostov-on-Don, graduating at the beginning of World War II. He served for 4 years in the Soviet army and attained the rank of captain in the artillery. His difficulties with the authorities began on Feb. 8, 1945, when he was arrested for having written critical remarks about Joseph Stalin in a letter to a friend that was intercepted by the censors. Sentenced without a trial to 8 years of hard labor, he remained until 1953 in a number of labor camps, one of which was a research institute (the setting for
