Series -- Sammlung Luchterhand, 28. [COVER TEXT]"The great socialist realist Solzhenitsyn has his roots in the Soviet people; that's why official criticism takes him so seriously. In the West Solzhenitsyn's works may be welcomed for political reasons; in the socialist space they offer criticism and self-criticism that everyone understands. This has consequences that even the CPSU cannot avoid. Georg Lukács has no ambition to be a biographer. If he dedicates himself to a great popular writer, there must be deeper reasons. Greatness in this sense is not brought about by Nobel prizes, just as little as resolutions of the writers' association can free one from it. Lukács sees the camp novel about the carpenter Denisovich as a critical reckoning with the Stalinist period. In this book Lukács finds signs of renewal of a realism capable of adequately expressing human history. The essay on Solzhenitsyn's novels deals with the First Circle of Hell" and the "Cancer Ward". According to Lukács, the mirror image of Soviet history expands into a realistic picture of mankind today.Methods and criteria that lead Lukács to this assessment are explicitly presented. The central question of the literature is how the existing social conditions and tendencies affect people, whether they promote or inhibit the social development of human incarnation. Solzhenitsyn's novels frame these questions for the Stalinist period. You don't give any answers. However, the rich picture of the changes in Solzhenitsyn's people is so shocking that every reader gets into the stage of political decisions. Literature and morality are superstructure phenomena, are part of the worldview struggle with cultural coexistence. In order to make this - often forgotten - importance clear, Lukács argues in the first essay against monolithic demarcation from hostile ideological camps for open cultural coexistence with undiminished sharp economic and ideological debate. “The aesthetic is not eliminated with it! On the contrary. It plays a decisive role, a general, deep and lasting ideological effect only emanates from artistically inferior works in exceptional cases.” #readersofinstagram #Solzhenitsyn #collectiblebooks #GeorgLukacs #booksale #Weltanschauung #instaread #CPSU #booksforsale #SovietUnion #Books #SocialistRealism #instabooks #KarlMarx #BooksBooksBooks #Hegel #bookcollecting #Lenin #CuttleboneBooks #Stalin #bibliophile #Hungary #Kant #Dostoyevsky #THomasMann #AntonioGramsci #Bolshevik #GreatPurge #ImreNagy #Antiquarian
