Description
Summary:This review article explores the American rediscovery in recent years of the political, historical, and spiritual wisdom of the Russian anti-totalitarian writer and Nobel Laureate Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, especially the deepening appreciation of his two enduring masterworks, The Gulag Archipelago and the multivolume The Red Wheel. While Solzhenitsyn remains a contested and controversial figure for some progressives in the Western world, for many others he remains as much as an inspiration as he was during the classic age of ideology.
