A major biography of the enigmatic and elusive writer. The political reactionary who spoke out against Communism now lives in seclusion, having withdrawn from Western culture and materialism.
Arguably one of the most significant writers of the twentieth century, Solzhenitsyn has, since the fall of Communism, spoken out against the current Russian regime and now lives in seclusion.
His faith has always deeply informed his literary and artistic approach and his response to the excesses of modern materialism. On the spiritual, cultural, and socio-political level, his writings have much to teach the world as it prepares for the new millennium.
Based on personal interviews with Solzhenitsyn and his family, Joseph Pearce’s major new book provides a profoundly fascinating insight into a towering literary and political figure.

From his pro-Communist youth to his imprisonment in the Gulags, his exile in America to his return to Russia, Solzhenitsyn has struggled with the most weighty questions of humanity. When a person has suffered terrible physical and emotional tortures, what becomes of his spirit? If peace and justice are never fully attained, what hope is there for the future?
Based on exclusive, personal interviews, Joseph Pearce's biography chronicles a man whose faith has deepy informed his life. It opens up the writings of one who has much to impart to us on spiritual, cultural and political levels. It also contains previously unpublished poems by Solzhenitsyn and and photographs from his personal collection.
