This book, first published in 1984, was the first full biography of
Solzhenitsyn. Starting with his childhood, it covers every period
of his life in considerable detail, showing how Solzhenitsyn's
development paralleled and mirrored the development of Soviet
society: ambitious and idealistic in the twenties and thirties,
preoccupied with the struggle for survival in the forties, hopeful
in the fifties and sixties and disillusioned in the seventies.
Solzhenitsyn's life thus serves as a paradigm for the history of
twentieth-century Communism and for the intelligentsia's attitudes
to Communism. At the same time, this book relates Solzhenitsyn's
life to his works, all of which contain a large element of
autobiography.
