Description



About the Book



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. Each Worldview Guide presents the big picture (both the good and the bad) without neglecting the details. Each Worldview Guide is a friendly literary coach -- and a treasure map, and a compass, and a key -- to help teachers, parents, and students appreciate, critique, and begin to master the classics. The bite-size WGs are divided into these ten sections (with some variation due to genre): Introduction, The World Around, About the Author, What Other Notables Said, Setting, Characters, & Argument, Worldview Analysis, Quotables, 21 Significant Questions & Answers, and Further Discussion & Review. A free classics test and answer key are also available online



Book Synopsis



" Ivan Denisovich succeeds on many levels. 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
