"Am immense epic on the dark side of Soviet life in Stalin's closing years...an unqualified masterpiece."
At the height of Stalin's postwar terror, Innnokentry, a young diplomat and scion of a corrupt ruling class, discovers an earlier and more spiritual traditon than that adopted by the October Revolution, the beginning of a process which is Solzhenitsyn's basic theme: the individual's experience of acquiring an immortal soul. Unwisely but generously, Innokentry helps a friend in danger of arrest, only to be arrested himself and sent to a special prison. This, the arcetype of the Gulag, is described with masterful psychological insight. There are no heroes and hardly any villains; oppressors are no less victims than the the oppressed. In the great tradition of the Russian novel, The First Circle is both a brooding account of human nature and a scrupulously exact description of a historical period.
"The First Circle is arguably the greatest Russian novel of the century." Ronald Hingley, Spectator
"A future generation of Russians will be able to come to terms with their history through books like Doctor Zhivago and The First Circle" David Pryce-Jones, Financial Times
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was born in 1918 and grew up in Rostov-on-Don. He graduated in physics and mathematics from Rostov University and studied literature by correspondence course at Moscow University. In World War II he fought as an artillery officer, attaining the rank of captain. In 1945, however, after making derogatory remarks about Stalin in a letter, he was arrested and summarily sentenced to eight years in forced labour camps, followed by internal exile. In 1957 he formally rehabilitated, and settled down to teaching and writing. The publication of One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich in Novy Mir in 1962 was followed by publication, in the West, of his novels Cancer Ward and The First Circle. In 1970 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, and in 1974 his citizenship was revoked and he was expelled from the Soviet Union. He settled in Vermont and worked on his great historical cycle The Red Wheel. In 1990, with the fall of Soviet Communism, his citizenship was restored and four years later he returned to settle in Russia.
