In this examination of Solzhenitsyn and his work, Lee Congdon explores the consequences of the atheistic socialism that drove the Russian revolutionary movement. Beginning with a description of the post-revolutionary Russia into which Solzhenitsyn was born, Congdon addresses the Bolshevik victory in the civil war, the origins of the concentration camp system, the Bolsheviks' war on Christianity and the Russian Orthodox Church, Solzhenitsyn's arrest near the war's end, his time in the labor camps, his struggle with cancer, his exile and increasing alienation from the Western way of life, and his return home. He concludes with a reminder of Solzhenitsyn's warning to the West—that it was on a path parallel to that which Russia had followed into the abyss.

Описание:
"A charming tale of two delightful ladies in the twilight of their lives. Come, let us take this rare opportunity to step into their home and discover the wonders of their grand antebellum manor. One should never refuse the chance for afternoon tea and the occasion for potentially spirited, and engaging conversation that most often comes with it. After all, hospitality is one of many facets that make the South truly genteel - to decline such a delightful invitation simply would be rude."
With dark humor, dry wit, tongue-in-cheek nods to queer culture, and a liberal helping of mildew, Michael Congdon sentences the reader to sixty delightfully moribund minutes with two old horrible old women and their nicotine-addicted cat.
The plague of 2020 provided the apt incentive for the series of vivid, Earl Grey-soaked descriptions which combine to create the single hour of decaying Southern Gothic which is Miss Haverly & Miss Cavendish. Artist Marie Gagnon's illustrations enhance this quintessential experience of black mold, dry rot, and imminent doom.
Michael Congdon is slowly and stubbornly working to establish himself as an author of multiple genres. His first publication was the 2005 cookbook, S.O.U.P.S., followed mere fifteen years later with It Is Best to Die In Your Sleep, a collection of essays, short stories, recipes, and pornographic farce.

Описание: Leaving Cisco Raad is a book about discovering the inner life of a parent as her mind eventually gave way to dementia. Brinkley Craft Goranson, born into poverty in Tyner, North Carolina, to a failed farmer and a mother who would soon be blind, sought a life of adventure, accomplishment, and being noticed. This memoir, composed from decades of private journals that Kristin Congdon began reading before her mother died at the age of ninety- seven, is filled with wit and insight into the workings of one rural community in the 1920s and 30s. There are stories about dysfunctional family members, extreme gender divisions, colorful neighbors, a falling down house, hog killings, snake killings, folk wisdoms, children's folklore, and baptisms in the Chowan River. It is a story of one woman's escape from her childhood home, while repeatedly clinging to it in an effort to heal her origin story. It is a story about a woman who supported herself by the age of seventeen, married, had children, was widowed, and became one of the first female Lutheran ministers after attending Harvard Divinity School in her mid-years. Ultimately, it is a tale about slowly overcoming damaged childhoods, throughout lives and generations
