The delay is Jewish malfeasance of some variety.

Solzhenitsyn was a great writer, but after the Soviet Union fell, he turned his 'guns' (so to speak) on the United States and (more specifically) the criminal gang who run it.
That's the exact moment that he went, in the public eye in the US (and with a lot of help from the American mass-media and the same criminal gang who run it and who largely control public opinion in the US), from a Nobel laureate and a great writer, to a 'horrible crazy anti-Semite'. If you want the reason why none of his works have been published in the US since the early 90's (maybe even before), exactly that is the reason. Solzhenitsyn, too, did not understand until it was too late that unlike the USSR, they don't necessarily throw you in jail if they don't like what you say and write; they ignore you, give you the silent treatment, pretend that you don't even exist, throw you into 'the dustbin of history' (ironic considering a Soviet jew, one he knew a very large amount about, Trotsky, invented the phrase!) And so, in the eyes of many in the US, you don't exist. You become a non-person - not only don't you exist, you never did exist. It wasn't his fault, but that's true: in America they don't necessarily imprison you, they erase you ... and there's no worse fate that exists for a writer. If you ask even so-called Solzhenitsyn or Russia experts in American, British, Australian ... academia about what he wrote in his final years, post-USSR, they'd more than likely say something like, 'What? Didn't he stop writing and go back to Russia when Communism there fell? And why would he have kept on writing after the Soviet Union fell?' And so, 'in the West', Solzhenitsyn the writer died a long time before Solzhenitsyn the person did. Last edited by M.N. Dalvez; August 13th, 2013 at 07:44 AM. |

He was 89. Stepan Solzhenitsyn told The Associated Press his father died late Sunday in Moscow, but declined further comment. Through unflinching accounts of the eight years he spent in the Soviet Gulag, Solzhenitsyn's novels and non-fiction works exposed the secret history of the vast prison system that enslaved millions. The accounts riveted his countrymen and earned him years of bitter exile, but international renown. (rest of article -- jw) |

And the biggest and most prestigious 'presses' of the English language are in, surprise surprise, the UK and the US. Guess where the rest of the English-reading world gets most of its cues from? Again - the UK and the US. SF is full of people who talk a good game, but don't really know what they are talking about on a lot of things. Where did that poster get that claim about the YUP? I wouldn't trust much that I read there (or anywhere for that matter) until you had some confirmation from other, independent, sources. Quote:
Back in the days of the Soviet Union, that is precisely what happened - people copied down, transcribed, and translated literature without any guarantee of payment in return - and worse, guaranteed imprisonment and lack of livelihood (at best!) if the authorities caught up with them. It was called samizdat (although you already know that, Solskeniskyn, this is for the benefit of others who might read this), and that is exactly how Solzhenitsyn, and many other Soviet writers, became influential and important to the rest of the world. No offence to you at all, but most of the stuff you posted completely missed the essential point. It's not for reasons of time spent on/difficulty of translating his books that he became a sideline in his later years, it's for ideological reasons; when he was no longer writing books which were ideologically useful to the 'West', and indeed were sharply critical of it and the criminals who ran it (and still do!) That's the quality of the discourse of TOO readers??? So much for their claim that they represent some sort of WN intellectual elite ... Although Andrew seems to have his head screwed on the right way - if the rest of them have their heads screwed on at all, they are screwed on against the thread. Showing off your vocabulary doesn't make you an 'intellectual elite' - it's the quality, the acuity, of your thoughts, and what you can do with them, that does that. Last edited by M.N.

It was said that "The book is notorious for its failure to find an English publisher. The American Jewish community has invested many hours in preventing 200 Years Together from finding a wider audience. That is a positive indicator that it is worth reading."
I find it hard to believe book would still not be published without jewish influence in this sphere.. I would speculate condition set by various publishers are for that reason not adequate of this work, hence the looking for the "right house" issue. Other question is how honest would be translation under the control of jewish publisher. Didnt KMac try to get funds (donations) for its 'samizdat' translation by an independent translator? By the way, could you list all the languages it was translated to? I am only aware of French, German and Czech, any Scandinavian language perhaps? |
