August 1914
August 1914 | Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
4 posts | 7 read | 3 to read
One word of truth shall outweigh the whole world Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn In the first month of the First World War the Russian campaign against the Germans creaks into gear. Crippled by weak, indecisive leadership the Russian troops battle desperately, even as the inevitability of failure and their own sacrifice dawns. Solzhenitsyns astounding work of historical fiction is a portrait of pre-revolutionary Russia, a tragic war story, and an epic novel in the great Russian tradition.

For me flawed in places, but still one of the greatest novels of the 20th Century 😊

After 5 yrs in the freelance market, I‘ve come onboard a media company as a Production Coordinator! It‘s exciting, face-paced and intense but my reading has slacked off in the past 2 weeks. I finally figured out that I need to schedule reading time and parse books out to get my fix. With that in mind, I‘m starting this now but don‘t expect to finish it until mid-January 2019!

And I know *nothing* about it now so I‘ll keep you posted...

Reading outside in the sun ☀️
October 2017 (today at least) feels more like August, than August did... 😊
I have been reading this one for a while now. Lots of Russian politics wich make it a bit slow, but interesting (and also a Russian novel I think).
