Review # 1 was written on 2015-05-13 00:00:00 Fred Farid "As long as there is fresh air to breathe under an apple tree after a shower, we may survive a little longer." (243)I had already read two of the longer pieces in this collection�Matryona's House and An Incident at Krechetovka Station. The other stories in this collection, especially the last, newly restored What a Pity, were well worth reading, as were the various prose poems. Tinged with nostalgia and suffused with lamentation, regularly revolving around the tension between good and evil, Solzhenitsyn's work is often bleak�and just as often beautiful.
