Can science, politics and economics truly provide all of man's needs? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn his acclaimed literary and historical works, Solzhenitsyn exposed the brutality of the Soviet regime. Most famous for his novel \u003ci\u003eOne Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich\u003c\/i\u003e and his three-volume expose of the Russian police state, \u003ci\u003eThe Gulag Archipelago\u003c\/i\u003e, he won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1970. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSolzhenitsyn's Christian faith deeply informed his response to the inhumanity of modern materialism as it took shape in twentieth- century Russia. His critique applies not only to Communism, however, but also to the post-Christian capitalism now dominant in the West. On the spiritual, cultural, and socio-political level, his writings still have much to teach the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis book also contains a gallery of rare photographs.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoseph Pearce\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of numerous literary works including \u003ci\u003eLiterary Converts\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Quest for Shakespeare\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eShakespeare on Love\u003c\/i\u003e, and the editor of the Ignatius Critical Editions series.
