Solzhenitsyn's Religion, by Niels C. Nielsen, Jr. (HC, 1975, $6)
This book is in really nice shape. The DJ only has some fading to the spine. The book itself doesn't look like it was ever opened.
I knew Solzhenitsyn was a famous Russian writer. I have even read one of his books ( the short one, not one of the looooong ones). What I never thought about was whether he was religious, or whether Russia's brutal persecution included persecution of Christians. OK, I will admit to being naive.
"This is not the usual religious portrait; the circumstances of Solzhenitsyn's life, his imprisonment and the conditions under which he has lived have combined to forge in an agonized crucible a terribly human understanding of the Will of God. Reading this account, one can understand Solzhenitsyn's implacable resistance to oppression, his moving compassion, his poignant love for his homeland."
So he is not just an amazing Russian, and writer, but also an amazing Christian.
Look for this book on the new non-fiction table. (L-Rus)
