One of the most important Russian writers of the twentieth century, Solzhenitsyn gained worldwide renown for his novels on Soviet labour camps. In 1970 he was offered the Nobel Prize for Literature. His major novels include Cancer Ward, First Circle and Gulag Archipelago, which finally led to his deportation from the Soviet Union in 1974. In this gripping program, key figures such as Andrei Vassilievsky, the editor of Novy Mir; Nikita Struve, the first publisher of The Gulag Archipelago; and Solzhenitsyn himself, in a rare interview, discuss the events that have both stimulated and shaped a perilous lifetime of writing. Extracts from Archipelago and The Oak and the Calf drive home the harsh realities of life in the U.S.S.R. during the Stalin and Brezhnev regimes.
