Description: The story of Solzhenitsyn's reception in the West is almost as dramatic as the story of his life. After being lionized as a literary master and a freedom-fighter, he eventually was judged by many to be reactionary, authoritarian, chauvinistic, anti-democratic, anti-Western - in short, an eccentric extremist. Solzhenitsyn and the Modern World challenges the prevailing Western view of Solzhenitsyn. In a time when the collapse of Soviet Communism demands reassessment of many received opinions, Solzhenitsyn merits reappraisal as well. Although his primary contribution is literary, the chief obstacle to an appreciation of his works is the misperception of his fundamental views about the world, and particularly the modern world, as they are expressed in his essays. Solzhenitsyn's Christian faith underlies all of his thinking. It gives rise to his moral vision out of which grow all of his ideas about politics and public life. A careful reading of his essays shows Solzhenitsyn to be a Russian patriot who freely draws upon traditional Western values; a democrat with moderate, centrist tendencies; and a man who, far from being a Jeremiah figure, is deeply imbued with hope for the future of his nation and of the world. After a brief introductory call for a reassessment of Solzhenitsyn, Solzhenitsyn and the Modern World outlines his view of the moral universe and traces in detail his reception among Western critics. Ericson explains Solzhenitsyn's views on the West, democracy, and nationalism, topics about which there has been great confusion, and analyzes thoroughly his most politically programmatic essays, "Letter to the Soviet Leaders" and "Rebuilding Russia". He concludes by outlining howSolzhenitsyn has influenced the modern world and has helped point the way toward a more hopeful and humane future.
