«Nos Jeunes» is the short-story collection by Alexandre Solzhenitsyn, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (128 pages, in French).
The book offers a portrait of Russian youth in the Soviet years: against the propagandistic image of liberated, happy young people devoted to building a new world, Solzhenitsyn shows in three sketches the reverse of that reality.
This French edition, published in 2008 by Le Livre de Poche (No. 30927), bears the full title «Nos jeunes: récits en deux parties»; the translation is by Geneviève and José Johannet.
For readers interested in Russian literature and in Solzhenitsyn's critical view of the Soviet period.
Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn was a Soviet and Russian author and dissident who helped to raise global awareness of political repression in the Soviet Union, especially the Gulag prison system. He was awarded the 1970 Nobel Prize in Literature "for the ethical force with which he has pursued the indispensable traditions of Russian literature". His nonfiction work The Gulag Archipelago "amounted to a head-on challenge to the Soviet state" and sold tens of millions of copies.
