Solzhenitsyn and the Modern World (Occasional Papers Book 2) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

"No other living man of letters has attained an influence comparable to that exercised by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. His books have altered the whole climate of opinion in Europe, and have helped to unsettle the previously dominant ritualistic liberalism of American intellectuals. Nevertheless, as Dr. Ericson instructs us, this great writer has been misrepresented (sometimes maliciously) or misunderstood by many of the “elite” who usually are the shapers of public opinion. Edward Ericson labors to set matters aright and to make clear Solzhenitsyn's teachings both in this Acton Institute Occasional Paper, originally delivered May 17, 1993, as part of the Lord Acton Lecture Series, and in his other works so central to any serious study of this intellectually sound and artistically gifted author." -From the Introduction
