Prussian Nights | A Narrative Poem Solzhenitsyn, Alexander [Alexander Solzhenitzyn (1918-2008) Winner of the Nobel Prize For Literature, 1970] Translated from the Russian by Robert Conquest. (Book #ID 118337) Published by Collins and Harvill Press 30a Pavilion Road, London First UK Edition 1977. 1977. First edition hard back binding in publisher's original striking red cloth covered boards, blocked and lettered gilt back. 8vo. 8½'' x 6''. Prussian Nights presents an entirely new aspect of the genius of Alexander Solzhenitsyn. It is a long narrative poem he composed, then committed to memory, during his prison-camp years. For the first time he uses his own experiences as a young artillery officer during the Second World War as he describes the exhilarating and horrifying events of a few days on the Eastern front in January 1945. Solzhenitsyn's thoughts and feelings in this physical and ethical maelstrom are characteristic. He turns to the principle of personal responsibility as against the war-time urges of self-indulgence, destruciveness, sensuality and arrogance. The rhythm of Prussian Nights suggests the sweep and spirit of the advance, its detail intensifies the soldier's tension and fear. The poem, a re-creation of the grim realities of the front, is a masterpiece, a narrative of epic proportions which deserves a prominent place in his work. Contains duel text in Russian and English, (vi), 108 pp. Fine condition book in Very Good condition price clipped dust wrapper with small rubs to the top of the spine. Dust wrapper protected.
