Items related to November 1916: The Red Wheel/Knot II: knot 2
This is the second volume in the monumental historical epic, THE RED WHEEL, and follows AUGUST 1914. Each volume concentrates on a crucial turning point in the march towards revolution. The month of November 1916 was outwardly unmarked by seismic events and encapsulated the stagnant and oppressive atmosphere of the months preceding the Revolution. Beneath the surface, however, Russian society - from the Tzar's court to ill-led soldiers in the trenches - seethed fiercely. Solzhenistyn makes us experience the whole bubbling cauldron. With masterly and moving empathy, through the eyes of both historical and fictional protagonists, the author unforgettable transports us to that time and place - the last of pre-Soviet Russia.

Review:
Synopsis:
"A superb blend of fact and fiction written in a racy, original style." --John Keep, The Times Literary Supplement
"Solzhenitsyn's tremendous gifts as a novelist shine in his creation of characters and his depiction of war on the front line." --The New Yorker
"Solzhenitsyn achives something exceedingly rare among novelists dealing with history . . . He gets a sense of the past not as something to be understood in the light of the present, but as a teeming womb of incalculablility and possibility." --John Bayley, The New York Book Review
The month of November 1916 in Russia was outwardly unmarked by seismic events, but beneath the surface, society, from the Tsar's bizarre and troubled court to the peasants, workers and ill-led soldiers in the trenches, seethed fiercely. Solzhenitsyn helps the reader experience this.
