Apricot Jam And Other Stories

This is a collection of stories from the Nobel Prize-winning author, available for the first time in English. Written in the years between SolzhenitÍ¡syn’s return from exile to Russia in 1994, and his death in 2008, they confirm the author’s position as not only a visionary political commentator but also as a true literary giant.
