Born in Kislovodsk, Russia, in 1918, and winner of the 1970 Nobel Prize for Literature, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn is one of the foremost authors of our age. Arrested in 1945 for criticizing Stalin in private correspondence to a friend, Solzhenitsyn spent the next eight years in the Soviet gulag, and in 1953 was exiled from the Soviet Union for three years. Six years after his return he published his first novel, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. After the appearance of several more books, including Cancer Ward and The Red Wheel, he was exiled again from the USSR in 1974. He lived for most of the next twenty years in Cavendish, Vermont.
