On Solzhenitsyn

I recall, at the age of thirteen, reading for one of the first times, about Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.  What I recall, is thinking a thought echoed in a new piece published online by First Things.  That thought was this.

“Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn is one of the great souls of the age.”

I thought this, regarding Solzhenitsyn at that young age, because I so admired and respected the man’s stance against the evil of Socialist Russia.  A stance of defiance, with which I was well acquainted and exercising myself, as I flexed my mind and independence in my first teen year.

The article is titled “Traducing Solzhenitsyn,” and was written by Daniel J. Mahoney.
