These groundbreaking works--interconnected 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith 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 lives--until the Revolution exacts radical change on them both. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe 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, \u003ci\u003eApricot Jam and Other Stories\u003c\/i\u003e is a striking example of Solzhenitsyn's singular style and only further solidifies his place as a true literary giant.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Counterpoint LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/21\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781619020085\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 375\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":"Default Title","offer_id":36662410641564,"sku":"9781619020085","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_164f9a4b-c13a-425b-9b97-16e880dce140.jpg?v=1603901831","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/apricot-jam-and-other-stories-9781619020085","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
