Ivan Sergeyevich Shmelev (1873-1950) - a Russian writer and publicist, twice nominated for the Nobel Prize, nicknamed the "Orthodox writer" for his large number of texts about the spirituality of the Russian people. While in emigration, "he never stops thinking about Russia and suffering from its misfortunes for a minute in his spiritual fervor." The epic "Sun of the Dead" became the first significant work that the author published in emigration. It reflects the most terrible events that Ivan Shmelev did not have the fortune to experience: the Red Terror, famine in Crimea, which began with the conquest of territories by the Bolshevik army and the introduction of the "new order" into the previously peaceful life, and, most importantly, the death of his son in the dungeons of the Extraordinary Commission. This work conveys the "despair and universal destruction of the first Soviet years." The book was translated into many languages of the world and soon brought the author wide recognition. "Read this if you have the courage."
