Description
Russia’s greatest writers, contemporaries of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, welcomed his arrival in literature very warmly—some even enthusiastically. But over time, attitudes toward him changed drastically. A. Tvardovsky, who spared no effort and zeal to get an unknown author published in “The New World,” later told him to his face: “You have nothing sacred…” M. Sholokhov, after reading the first story of a literary newcomer, asked Tvardovsky on his behalf, whenever the occasion arose, to give the author a warm welcome—and later wrote about him: “Some kind of painful shamelessness…” The same can be said about how L. Leonidov and K. Simonov felt toward him… After reading a book by one of the most authoritative publicists of our time, Vladimir Bushin, who personally knew the writer, you’ll understand what Solzhenitsyn sacrificed for glory.
