When people think of Russia today  they tend to gravitate toward images of Soviet domination or  more recently  Vladimir Putins war against Ukraine. The reality  however  is that  despite Russias political failures  its rich history of culture  religion  and philosophical reflectioneven during the darkest days of the Gulaghave been a deposit of wisdom for American artists  religious thinkers  and political philosophers probing what it means to be human in America. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn stands out as the key figure in this conversation  as both a Russian literary giant and an exile from Russia living in America for two decades. This anthology reconsiders Solzhenitsyns work from a variety of perspectiveshis faith  his politics  and the influences and context of his literatureto provide a prophetic vision for our current national confusion over universal ideals. In Solzhenitsyn and American Culture: The Russian Soul in the West  David P. Deavel and Jessica Hooten Wilson have collected essays from the foremost scholars and thinkers of comparative studies who have been tracking what Americans have borrowed and learned from Solzhenitsyn and his fellow Russians. The book offers a consideration of what we have in commonthe truth  goodness  and beauty America has drawn from Russian culture and from masters such as Solzhenitsynand will suggest to readers what we can still learn and what we must preserve. The last section expands the books theme and reach by examining the impact of other notable Russian authors  including Pushkin  Dostoevsky  and Gogol. Contributors: David P.
