This reader, compiled by renowned Solzhenitsyn scholars Edward E. Ericson, Jr., and Daniel J. Mahoney in collaboration with the Solzhenitsyn family, provides in one volume a rich and representative selection of Solzhenitsyn's voluminous works. Reproduced in their entirety are early poems, early and late short stories, early and late "miniatures" (or prose poems), and many of Solzhenitsyn’s famous—and not-so-famous—essays and speeches. The volume also includes excerpts from Solzhenitsyn's great novels, memoirs, books of political analysis and historical scholarship, and the literary and historical masterpieces The Gulag Archipelago and The Red Wheel. More than one-quarter of the material has never before appeared in English (the author’s sons prepared many of the new translations themselves).
The Solzhenitsyn Reader reveals a writer of genius, an intransigent opponent of ideological tyranny and moral relativism, and a thinker and moral witness who is acutely sensitive to the great drama of good and evil that takes place within every human soul. It will be for many years the definitive Solzhenitsyn collection.

Review
"Ericson and Mahoney are to be congratulated in assembling this collection of Solzhenitsyn's corpus. Their introductions to the various offerings provide the reader with an understnading of the focus of the work, its genesis, and outline. I am personally grateful that they included his Harvard Address that illustrates Isaevich as the true Platonic philosopher/prophet, where he fearlessly engages the academy in questions they have no desire to hear let alone answer."
—Robert C. Cheeks, American Thinker
"The selections in The Solzhenitsyn Reader confirm what the editors suggest in the opening pages: the author's life almost defies belief. Born in Russia one year after the Bolshevik seizure of power, he outlived the political system that persecuted him, surviving its horrible network of labor camps while documenting its myriad crimes. Solzhenitsyn's writings are indispensable for understanding the 20th century. For those who would like to sample that corpus generously, the Reader is an excellent place to begin."
—David L. Tubbs, Claremont Review of Books

Review of part: "Two Hundred Years Together"
By James de Juste
Solzhenitsyn's book "Two Hundred Years Together", (of which there are several chapters here in the "The Solzhenitsyn Reader") refers to the approximate two hundred years that the Jews have lived in Russia with the Russian people.
Just exactly why the book is not available in English, I am not sure. I've heard that it has -- as a whole -- not been translated into English. And even so, the speculation is that no publisher of books in English would touch it -- the publishing business, of course, being Jewish dominated. The book has been in existence for some years, and why a major book by a major writer and important ethical force in the Twentieth -- or any other -- century, like Solzhenitsyn, should be delayed is a mystery, except to think that it might be viewed as anti-Semitic by the field of Jewish publishers, and that would be the cause of it's being stonewalled.
In any event, several chapters from "Two Hundred Years Together" were translated for the book, "The Solzhenitsyn Reader". So my review comments here are based on those several chapters.
What is clear in these chapters is Solzhenitsyn's great care in developing very unbiased analysis and in referencing historical facts in a straight-forward way. His aim is not to point fingers of blame but to deliver an accurate and measured reportage to try to get Russians and Jews to be more in harmony. He presents each of the Russian Nineteenth Century and the Twentieth Century, relative to Russian/Jew relations, naturally as very distinct periods.
He discusses a bit the "Pale of Settlements" of the Nineteenth Century; that is the sizable twenty percent of land in West Russia set aside for the Jews originally promulgated by Catherine the Great and her predecessors, (see map on Wikipedia). And he discusses the pogroms.
He discusses the roles of both the Russians' and the Jews' in the Bolshevik revolution. With the revolution, the White bureaucracy was, of course, kaput. There, aside from the Jew Trotsky and the lesser known "usual suspects," Jews of high Bolshevik rank, e.g., Zinoviev, et al., he notes the vast assignment of Jews to Bolshevik commissars, organizational, and administrative jobs, and how much of that was then cruelly administered by those Jews toward the Russians.
But Solzhenitsyn says he agrees with Jewish authors and he generously gives the benefit of the doubt in "The Jewish Question" by characterizing the Jewish Bolsheviks simply as "renegades," in other words turncoats -- yet they were arrivistes into the new Bolshevik society such as it was. But many, he writes, were, indeed, also anti-Russian.
He clarifies Lenin's slight Jewish provenance but classifies him as a Russian -- and a "cowardly" one, he writes, who went into hiding occasionally when things got dicey.
It is no secret that Jews have been trying to distance themselves from their major roles in Bolshevism during and after the revolution, and hope that it would be forgotten -- bad press down the memory hole. Solzhenitsyn's writing on this, if and when it fully comes out in English, will go a long way to fix it in history and in present day consciousness -- again, could that be why there is resistance to its publication?
As yet, as I have seen in those few translated chapters -- or not seen -- there was no mention of the hideous and cowardly murder of the Russian royal family by the Jews, nor of "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion", nor of the largess of New York Jewish International banking money that financed Trotsky to start the revolution, monies which were toward a good return on investment. Those would certainly have to be included in the full book if it ever is released.
Interesting it is how Solzhenitsyn in his taxonomy separates Russians and Jews though living in the same country. It's as if we in the US would classify Americans on the one hand and Jews on the other; however appropriate that might be for Jews having dual citizenship with Israel and dual loyalty, (quite often with more loyalty towards Israel and the Zionist project than toward the US).
All we as Americans can do is hope that Jews will not try to start a repeat the Bolshevik sedition in our country in some other form of take-over such as a New World Order -- realistically, as of 2010, Jews already control the US Administration, the Congress and the media, so the future is unclear for us.

His writing is more important than ever as we see ...
By Ann Mccoy
His writing is more important than ever as we see an important revival of Orthodox Christianity in Russia and a moral rot and decline in the West.

a perspective for our times..
By Beverly Dow
The Solzhenitsyn Reader was absolutely fantastic! I loved the seemingly more understandable translation. My Russian is a little rusty. Solzhenitsyn is undaunted to tell first hand the horrors of tyranny. In America in spite of mendacity of
current regime there is an astounding parallel to the days of Stalin, the era not as well known today. Solzhenitsyn stands as a witness to his times, he is one of my personal heroes. Although the Reader seems lengthy I was able to devour every word in 10 days.
