First Edition Signed
First edition of this powerful Nobel lecture by the author of One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. Small octavo, original cloth. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Inscribed and dated by Alexander Solzhenitsyn on the title page entirely in his hand. Translated by Thomas P. Whitney. Rare and desirable signed and inscribed. Toward the close of his 1970 Nobel Prize lecture, Alexander Solzhenitsyn affirmed the power of literature â to help mankind, in these its troubled hours, to see itself as it really is, notwithstanding the indoctrinations of prejudiced people and parties.â In this he affirms the power of literature to communicate the moral truths of our lives, our societies, across all national and ethnic boundaries.
