Much Is Required of Those Who Possess The Gift of Art

A very eloquent way of identifying the relationship between literature and social responsibility. Even more impressive is the way Solzhenitsyn connects literature, art and writing to a greater spiritual force work in the universe. This speech reinforces the power and strength of the written word. It elevates literature to its rightful place as facilitator of goodwill among people and my belief that there is no better nourishment for the soul that a good book.
