{"product_id":"apricot-jam-aleksandr-solzhenitsyn-9781619020085","title":"Apricot Jam: And Other Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter years of living in exile, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn returned to Russia in 1994 and published a series of eight powerfully paired stories. These groundbreaking worksinterconnected and juxtaposed using an experimental method Solzhenitsyn referred to as binary join Solzhenitsyn s already available fiction as some of the most powerful literature of the twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003e With Soviet and post-Soviety life as their focus, these stories weave and shift inside their shared setting, illuminating the Russian experience under the Soviet regime. In The Upcoming Generation, a professor promotes a dull but proletarian student purely out of good will. Years later, the same professor finds himself arrested and, in a striking twist of fate, his student becomes his interrogator. In Nastenka, two young women with the same name lead routine, ordered livesuntil the Revolution exacts radical change on them both.\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e \"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1619020084\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781619020085\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Catapult\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/21\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44191009669375,"sku":"9781619020085","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fd7a140b-0f26-42d4-9154-eb2edf712dda.jpg?v=1690873514","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/apricot-jam-aleksandr-solzhenitsyn-9781619020085","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
