Items related to Love Girl and the Innocent
Drawing on his personal experience, the Nobel Prize-winning author of One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich and Cancer Ward sets this play in a Stalinist slave camp in 1945. His vivid dramatization creates a terrifying picture of the despair and degradation suffered under a merciless camp régime. The 'Innocent' is a new arrival to the camp who is reluctant to adopt the sordid techniques of survival. His love for Lyuba, one of the many girls forced by circumstances to sell themselves for privileges and rations, tempts him to compromise with himself and betray his moral and emotional loyalties. The Love-Girl and the Innocent had already reached dress-rehearsal stage in Moscow before it was banned by the authorities

About the Author:
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, winner of the 1970 Nobel Prize in Literature, was born in 1918. In February 1945, while he was captain of a reconnaissance battery of the Soviet Army, he was arrested and sentenced to an eight-year term in a labor camp and permanent internal exile, which was cut short by Khrushchev's reforms, allowing him to return from Kazakhstan to Central Russia in 1956. Although permitted to publish One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich in 1962--which remained his only full-length work to have appeared in his homeland until 1990--Solzhenitsyn was by 1969 expelled from the Writers' Union. The publication in the West of his other novels and, in particular, of The Gulag Archipelago, brought retaliation from the authorities. In 1974, Solzhenitsyn was arrested, stripped of his Soviet citizenship, and forcibly flown to Frankfurt. Solzhenitsyn and his wife and children moved to the United States in 1976. In September 1991, the Soviet government dismissed treason charges against him; Solzhenitsyn returned to Russia in 1994. He died in Moscow in 2008.
