He was awarded the 1970 Nobel Prize in Literature "for the ethical force with which he has pursued the indispensable traditions of Russian literature". His nonfiction work "The Gulag Archipelago" "amounted to a head-on challenge to the Soviet state" and sold tens of millions of copies.' (Wiki) ***First impression of the first UK edition.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Jacket by Rafaella Romaya (illustrator). 1st Edition. First UK edition, first impression with '1' on copyright page. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of largely red jacket and spine, corners slightly bruised, some slight yellowing and faint spotting to page block, some very slight damp cockling to prelims, not price clipped (£16.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg copy. 375pp. After years of living in exile, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (1918-2008), returned to Russia in 1994 and published a series of eight powerfully paired stories. These groundbreaking stories, interconnected and juxtaposed using an experimental method Solzhenitsyn referred to as 'binary', join Solzhenitsyn's already available work as some of the most powerful literature of the twentieth century. With Soviet and post Soviet life as their focus, they weave and shift inside their shared setting, illuminating the Russian experience under the Soviet regime. The most eloquent and acclaimed opponent of government oppression, Solzhenitsyn was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1970, and his work continues to receive international acclaim. Available for the first time in English 'Apricot Jam and Other Stories' is a striking example of Solzhenitsyn's singular style and only further solidifies his place as a true literary giant. Quite a scarce book.
