      A Storm in the Mountains

      Alexander Solzhenitsyn

      1964

      Introduction

      Best known for his depiction of life inside Soviet labor camps, Nobel Prize-winning author Alexander Solzhenitsyn also authored a number of prose poems. In these brief, lyrical pieces, Solzhenitsyn explores such themes as life in rural Russian villages and the beauty of nature. A Storm in the Mountains focuses on the natural world, specifically a rugged mountain landscape in the throes of a storm. In the poem, an unnamed narrator and his companions find themselves caught in a mountain pass during a fierce thunderstorm. Solzhenitsyn vividly describes the progress of the storm and the reactions of its awestruck human witnesses. The poem illustrates the power and the beauty of nature, and it underscores the desire of man to feel a sense of unity with nature. In the structure and language of the piece, Solzhenitsyn depicts the storm and the reaction of the narrator and his companions almost as a conversation, an interplay between nature and humanity.

      A Storm in the Mountains was originally published in 1964 in Russian in the journal Grani, along with a number of other short pieces, under the title Krokhotki (a title that refers to the brevity of the stories). A Storm in the Mountains was later translated into English by Michael Glenny and published by Bodley Head in 1971 in the collection Stories and Prose Poems.
