The Calf Who Butted the Oak is the definitive version of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's classic memoir of the grotesque fever dream that passed for "literary life" in the Soviet '60s and '70s. Originally appearing in English as The Oak and the Calf, the narrative begins in 1956, when Solzhenitsyn returns to European Russia after eleven years in prison, labor camp, and Kazakhstan exile—years when he could not set any of his writings to paper, only to memory. Now, he once again writes, albeit in secret. Then comes his lucky break: One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich appears in the November 1962 issue of Novy Mir, and, like a thunderbolt, the truth about the camps bursts out into Soviet print. The writer himself is instantaneously transformed from an unknown provincial math teacher to a worldwide sensation. The heart of the memoir takes place over the next eleven years: Solzhenitsyn's quick fall from grace, the ever-increasing boldness of his public statements, his complex relationship with Novy Mir and its editor Tvardovsky, his battle of wits with the Soviet "Dragon," and the KGB's dramatic discovery of his manuscript of The Gulag Archipelago, which leads Solzhenitsyn to order its immediate publication in the West, and the Soviet government to arrest and exile him. The book concludes with "Invisibles," a poignant tribute to 133 named individuals whose bravery and belief in Solzhenitsyn's cause allowed him—the Calf—to persevere against the Oak of the Soviet regime. Part memoir, part political thriller, and part cultural history, The Calf Who Butted the Oak: Sketches of a Literary Life is a reflective contemplation of a "happy warrior's" self-liberation in the face of tyranny.
A major literary event: available for the first time in an English language edition, an early autobiographical novel from the Nobel Prize-winning author of The Gulag Archipelago, which chronicles his service and Soviet Russia's ordeals during World War II. Composed primarily in 1948 while he was imprisoned within the Soviet gulag system's Marfino sharashka, Love the Revolution is an unfinished autobiographical novel that is a snapshot of Aleksandr Solzheniitsyn's life during World War II. On a Sunday morning in June 1941, Gleb Nerzhin, a young man with a deep faith in Marxism who is eager to serve the revolution, arrives in Moscow to enroll in a prestigious institute for the study of history, philosophy, and literature. But world events will transform the course of his life, for this is the very day that Hitler launches his attack on the Soviet Union. Solzhenitsyn originally envisioned Love the Revolution to be an account of his entire military career. Though unfinished, it is an incredible story of conflict, deprivation, and turmoil which illuminates how a true believer's faith in the Soviet system–his love of the revolution–begins to dissolve amid the hardships of war. This earliest of the famed dissident's known prose works stands as an impressive literary achievement and as a harrowing reminder of the chaos and precariousness of wartime Russia.
In March 1917, Book 4 the willing and unwilling participants of the Russian Revolution try to make sense of their next steps amidst unraveling chaos. One of the masterpieces of world literature, The Red Wheel is Nobel prize–winner Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's multivolume epic work about the Russian Revolution told in the form of a historical novel. March 1917—the third node—chronicles the mayhem, day by day, of the Russian Revolution. Book 4 presents, for the first time in English, the conclusion of this four-volume revolutionary saga. The action of Book 4 is set during March 23–31, 1917. Book 4 portrays a cast of thousands in motion and agitation as every stratum of Russian society—the army on the front lines, the countryside, the Volga merchants, the Don Cossacks, the Orthodox Church—is racked by the confusing new reality. Soldiers start to fraternize across trenches with the enemy. The Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich, the emperor's uncle, arrives at military headquarters to assume the supreme command but is promptly dismissed by the new Provisional Government. Even this government holds no power, for at every step it is cowed and hemmed in by a self-proclaimed and unaccountable Executive Committee acting in the name of the Soviets—councils of workers and soldiers. Yet the Soviets themselves are divided—on whether to call for an end to the war or for its continuation, on whether to topple the Provisional Government or to let it try to govern. Meanwhile, in Switzerland, Lenin quietly dictates his own terms to the German General Staff, setting the stage for his return to Russia.

April 1917, Book 1, captures the division and helplessness of Russia's first Revolutionary rulers, paving the way for the victory of the ruthless Bolsheviks later that year. One of the masterpieces of world literature, The Red Wheel is Nobel prize–winner Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's multivolume epic work about the Russian Revolution told in the form of a historical novel. April 1917—the fourth node—shows the intractable divisions that would lead Russia to catastrophic Communist dictatorship and civil war. If the first three nodes of The Red Wheel form its first act, "The Revolution," April 1917 opens its second act, "The Rule of the People." The action of Book 1 (of two) is set during April 11–May 5, 1917. Book 1 presents a shift toward a more radical revolution and an increase in political turmoil. The Provisional Government comes under fire for its "bourgeois" capitalism and continuing commitment to World War I. Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin returns from exile and delivers his April Theses in Petrograd, actively sowing seeds of division. He declares that the revolution is not complete and openly calls for civil war, outlining a radical plan to overthrow the Provisional Government and seize power for the Soviets. Amid the chaos and rising tide of Bolshevism, the elements of resistance, and decency, slowly begin to awaken.

This collection brings together ten of Nobel Prize–winner Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's most memorable and consequential speeches, delivered in the West and in Russia between 1972 and 1997. Following his exile from the USSR in 1974, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn lived and traveled in the West for twenty years before the fall of Communism allowed him to return home to Russia. The majority of the speeches collected in this volume straddle this period of exile, contemplating the materialism prevalent worldwide—forcibly imposed in the socialist East, freely chosen in the capitalist West—and searching for humanity's possible paths forward. In beautiful yet haunting and prophetic prose, Solzhenitsyn explores the mysterious purpose of art, the two-edged nature of limitless freedom, the decline of faith in favor of legalistic secularism, and—perhaps most centrally—the power of literature, art, and culture to elevate the human spirit. These annotated speeches, including his timeless "Nobel Lecture" and "Harvard Address," have been rendered in English by skilled translators, including Solzhenitsyn's sons. The volume includes an introduction to the speeches, brief background information about each speech, and a timeline of the key dates in Solzhenitsyn's life.

In March 1917, Book 3 the forces of revolutionary disintegration spread out from Petrograd all the way to the front lines of World War I, presaging Russia's collapse. One of the masterpieces of world literature, The Red Wheel is Nobel prize–winner Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's multivolume epic work about the Russian Revolution told in the form of a historical novel. March 1917—the third node—tells the story, day by day, of the Russian Revolution itself. Until recently, the final two nodes have been unavailable in English. The publication of Book 1 of March 1917 (in 2017) and Book 2 (in 2019) has begun to rectify this situation. The action of Book 3 (out of four) is set during March 16–22, 1917. In Book 3, the Romanov dynasty ends and the revolution starts to roll out from Petrograd toward Moscow and the Russian provinces. The dethroned Emperor Nikolai II makes his farewell to the Army and is kept under guard with his family. In Petrograd, the Provisional Government and the Soviet of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies continue to exercise power in parallel. The war hero Lavr Kornilov is appointed military chief of Petrograd. But the Soviet's "Order No. 1" reaches every soldier, undermining the officer corps and shaking the Army to its foundations. Many officers, including the head of the Baltic Fleet, the progressive Admiral Nepenin, are murdered. Black Sea Fleet Admiral Kolchak holds the revolution at bay; meanwhile, Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich, the emperor's uncle, makes his way to military headquarters, naïvely thinking he will be allowed to take the Supreme Command.

Gulagi vangilaagrite saarestiku kaardistamise käigus kohtame ka stalinliku terrori kõige eredamaid tugipunkte: Butõrka, Magadan, Kolõma. Köite üheks võtmetegelaseks on Eesti rahvuslane Arnold Susi (1896-1968), kes vangikaaslasena märkimisväärselt mõjutas kirjaniku maailmapildi kujunemist.

Based on the testimony of some 200 survivors, and on the recollection of Solzhenitsyn's own eleven years in labour camps and exile, it chronicles the story of those at the heart of the Soviet Union who opposed Stalin, and for whom the key to survival lay not in hope but in despair. A thoroughly researched document and a feat of literary and imaginative power, this edition of The Gulag Archipelago was abridged into one volume at the author's wish and with his full co-operation.'Solzhenitsyn's masterpiece...
