Solzhenitsyn, Alexander - The Love-Girl and the Innocent - [A Play] - (Paperback)

Book in a fair only condition.  >>>  Unlike our pantomime morality dramas where there are villains of the first order, a Platonic form of Evil -- what this play depicts is that everyone has a jackal within. Well, almost everyone. The gulag simply brought these lesser angels to the fore, a character here calls their world Campland and one of its cardinal features is that 99 people cry and one person laughs. The titular characters are swept into a labor camp in the aftermath of the Great Patriotic War and find a fleeting human connection while they are tortured by the logic of their present existence. He a former officer in the Soviet army is the rube, unwilling to accept the human costs of his position as labor organizer. She is an orphan of Koba's wet dream of socialist perfection. He is soon demoted and she must satisfy the carnal whims of her superiors. Despite the debasement both recognize their doomed attraction as palpable. Such are the consolations of the informed.   * Play * Drama * 

*N.B.*  Dis natuurlik beter om meer as een boek by my te koop want dan betaal jy net R 6 posgeld vir elk van jou verdere boeke – Kyk wat het ek nog, dis dalk die moeite werd.
