“A Calf Butted an Oak Tree (Sketches of Literary Life)” is an autobiographical work by Alexander Solzhenitsyn. The essays describe events from the mid-1950s to 1974 inclusive (the author’s expulsion from the USSR and the beginning of life abroad). A significant part of the essays is occupied by a description of literary meetings and events related to the magazine “New World” (in particular, the history of the publication of the story “One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich”) and its editor-in-chief A. T. Tvardovsky are described in detail.

“A Grain Landed Between Two Millstones (Sketches of Exile)” is the second autobiographical work of Alexander Solzhenitsyn, which is a continuation of “A Calf Butted an Oak Tree.” The essays describe the events of 1974-1994, after the author’s expulsion from the USSR and until his return to Russia in 1994.
