{"product_id":"9783838205892","title":"Alexander Solzhenitsyn: Cold War Icon, Gulag Author, Russian Nationalist?","description":"Alexander Solzhenitsyn was one of the Cold War`s most iconic writers. This book offers an in-depth analysis of his reception in the US, UK, and Germany before and after 1991. Elisa Kriza skillfully explores how Solzhenitsyn`s work can be understood with the paradigm of witness literature and uncovers the dynamics behind the politicized reception of his writing.  From the mid-1980s onwards, Solzhenitsyn`s popularity dwindled—was this for ideological reasons? What about the rumors linking him with Russian nationalism? This study does not shy away from stretching beyond anti-communism and touching more contentious subjects—such as anti-feminism, anti-Semitism, and revisionism—in Solzhenitsyn`s work and reception.  Bringing Solzhenitsyn back from his `critical exile` and redefining his work as memory culture, Kriza`s book is a crucial scholarly intervention, unveiling the mechanism that can transform a controversial figure into a moral icon.","brand":"ibidem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65442079441245,"sku":null,"price":21.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/9783838205892.jpg?v=1789126743","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/9783838205892","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
