One of the writers of the XX century, whose workToday is of particular interest to researchers, is Alexander Solzhenitsyn. The works of this author are considered primarily in the socio-political aspect. The analysis of Solzhenitsyn's works is the topic of this article.
Творчество Солженицына – это история Архипелага GULAG The peculiarity of his books is to depict the opposition of man to the forces of evil. Alexander Solzhenitsyn - a man who went through the war, and at the end of it was arrested for "treason". He dreamed of literary creativity and sought to explore the history of the revolution as deeply as possible, because it was here that he sought inspiration. But life gave him other plots. Prisons, camps, links and an incurable affliction. Then miraculous healing, worldwide fame. And finally - exile from the Soviet Union.
So, what did Solzhenitsyn write about?The works of this writer - a long path of self-improvement. And it is given only in the presence of great life experience and a high cultural level. This writer is always a little above life. He seems to see himself and others from the side, somewhat detached.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn has come a long way.He saw the world, falling into which, a person has little chance to survive both physically and spiritually. He survived. Moreover, he was able to reflect this in his work. Thanks to a rich and rare literary gift, the books that Solzhenitsyn created became the property of the Russian people.
The list includes the following novels, novels, and short stories:
Before the first publication of their creations moreFor twelve years he was engaged in literary work Solzhenitsyn. The works listed above are only part of his artistic heritage. But these books should be read by every person for whom Russian is the native language. The themes of Solzhenitsyn’s works are not focused on the horrors of camp life. This writer, like no other in the 20th century, was able to portray a real Russian character. Character, striking their resilience, based on some natural and deep ideas about life.
Camp theme has become close to the Sovietperson The most monstrous in her is that it was forbidden to discuss her. Moreover, even after 1953, fear did not allow to speak about the tragedy that occurred in every third family. The work of Solzhenitsyn “One Day of Ivan Denisovich” brought to society some kind of ethics forged in camps. In whatever situation a person finds himself, he should not forget about his dignity. Shukhov, the hero of Solzhenitsyn’s story, does not live every camp day, but tries to survive. But the words of the old convict, which he heard as early as forty-three, sunk into his soul: "He who kills bowls dies."
Solzhenitsyn in this story combines two pointsview: the author and hero. They are not opposites. They have a certain general ideology. The differences in them - the level of generalization and breadth of the material. Solzhenitsyn succeeds in achieving distinction between the hero’s thoughts and the author’s reasoning through stylistic means.
The author of "Ivan Denisovich" returned to the literature of a simple Russian peasant. The hero of Solzhenitsyn lives, relying on simple popular wisdom, not thinking more than necessary, and not reflexing.
К Ивану Денисовичу не остались равнодушны readers of the literary magazine "New World". The publication of the story resonated in society. But before getting to the pages of a periodical, it was necessary to go through a difficult path. And here is also a simple Russian character won. The author himself in an autobiographical work claimed that “Ivan Denisovich” got into print, because the editor-in-chief of the “New World” was none other than the peasant from the people - Alexander Tvardovsky. And the main critic of the country, Nikita Khrushchev, was interested in "camp life through the eyes of a simple peasant."
Сохранить человечность в условиях, которые менее have to understanding, love, selflessness ... This is the problem, which is devoted to the work of Solzhenitsyn "Matrenin yard". The heroine of the story is a lonely woman, not understood by her husband, adopted daughter, neighbors, with whom she lives side by side for half a century already. Matryona has not accumulated property, but it works for free on others. She does not conceal anybody's anger and as if she does not see all the vices that overwhelm the souls of her neighbors. It is on such people as Matrona, in the opinion of the author, that the village, and the city, and all of our land rests.
After exile, Solzhenitsyn lived for almost a year in a deafthe village. Worked as a teacher. He rented a room from a local resident who became the prototype for the heroine of the story "Matrenin Dvor". The story was published in 1963. The work was highly appreciated by both readers and critics. The editor-in-chief of the “New World”, A. Tvardovsky, noted that the illiterate and simple woman named Matrona deserved the interest of readers thanks to her rich spiritual world.
In the Soviet Union, only two stories could publish Solzhenitsyn. Works "In the first circle", "The Gulag Archipelago" were published for the first time in the West.
In his work Solzhenitsyn combined studyingreality and writing approach. While working on the GULAG Archipelago, Solzhenitsyn used evidence from over two hundred people. Works about camp life and inhabitants of the sharashka are based not only on their own experience. When reading the novel “The GULAG Archipelago” sometimes you do not understand that this is a work of art or a scientific work? But the result of the study can only be statistical data. Solzhenitsyn’s own experience and stories from his acquaintances allowed Solzhenitsyn to compile all the material collected by him.
The GULAG Archipelago consists of three volumes.In each of them, the author presents different periods in the history of the camps. On the example of particular cases, the technology of arrest and investigation is given. The sophistication with which the staff of the institution at the Lubyanka worked is amazing. In order to accuse the person of what he did not do, the officers of the special services committed a number of complex manipulations.
The author makes the reader feel likeplace of the inhabitants of the camp. The novel "The Gulag Archipelago" - a mystery that attracts and attracts. Acquaintance with the psychology of a person, mutilated by constant fear and terror, forms in readers a persistent hatred of the totalitarian regime in all its manifestations.
A man turning into a prisoner forgets aboutmoral, political and aesthetic principles. The only goal is to survive. Particularly terrible is the change in the psyche of the prisoner, brought up in idealistic, sublime ideas about his own place in society. In the world of cruelty and unprincipledness, it is almost impossible to be human, and not to be it is to break yourself forever.
Много лет Солженицын создавал свои произведения, and then burned. The content of the destroyed manuscripts was kept only in his memory. The positive aspects of underground activities for the writer, according to Solzhenitsyn, are that the author is freed from the influence of censors and editors. But after twelve years of continuous writing stories and novels that remained obscure, lonely creativity began to choke him. Leo Tolstoy once said that a writer should not publish his books during his lifetime. Because it is immoral. Solzhenitsyn argued that one can agree with the words of the great classic, but nevertheless every author needs criticism.
