Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes

...she Knew From School That That Sort Of Literature Was Boring: Gorky Was Correct But Somehow Ponderous; Mayakovsky Was Very Correct But Somehow Awkward; Saltykov-Shchedrin Was Progressive, But You Could Die Yawning If You Tried To Read Him Through; Turgenev Was Limited To His Nobleman's Ideals; Goncharov Was Associated With The Beginnings Of Russian Capitalism; Lev Tolstoi Came To Favor Patriarchal Peasantry - And Their Teacher Did Not Recommend Reading Tolstoi's Novels Because They Were Very Long And Only Confused The Clear Critical Essays Written About Him. And Then They Reviewed A Batch Of Writers Totally Unknown To Anyone: Dostoyevsky, Stepnyak-Kravchinsky, And Sukhovo-Kobylin. It Was True That One Did Not Even Have To Remember The Titles Of Their Works. In All This Long Procession, Only Pushkin Shone Like A Sun.
