<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>""In 1961, a Russian schoolteacher submitted a novel based on his experience in the gulags to Aleksandr Tvardovsky, editor of Novy Mir. Tvardovsky 'took the manuscript home in the evening, changed into his lounging robe, propped himself up with pillows . . . . After having read just two or three pages, he got up, put on his office clothes, and resumed his reading. He was, he knew, in the presence of a literary masterpiece, and only dignified attire was fitting for the occasion.' Thus was Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn discovered as a writer. His work would eventually contribute to the Soviet Union's collapse." ~From Rippon's guide The Worldview Guides from the Canon Classics Literature Series provide an aesthetic and thematic Christian perspective on the most definitive and daunting works of Western Literature.

First, Solzhenitsyn tells a fascinating story of survival. Second, the novel is a great work of art in keeping with the classical ideals of truth, goodness, and beauty. Finally, Ivan Denisovich is a deeply Christian work that reflects a biblical theology of creation, fall, and redemption." -From Stephen Rippon's guide</p><p><br></p><p>The Canon Classics Worldview Guides provide an aesthetic and thematic Christian perspective on the most definitive and daunting works of Western Literature.
