Paul Scofield reads the English text of the 1970 Nobel Prize address by Alexander Solz henitsyn in a special translation for broadcasting by NICHOLAS BETHELL.
David Wade in The Times writes: ' A speaking, particularly one in Mr Scofield 's soft, gravelly voice, adds an important ingredient to the bare words; it seems to bring to life the fact, scarcely credible by any standards of sanity, that in the country where the writer lives, it is not allowed to speak or to publish, this and many other arrangements of words; that every obstacle will be put in the way of their being communicated. Are they treasonable. inflammatory, even excessively critical? And where there is criticism it is of World, rather than specifically Russian, behaviour.'
Producer ROBERT CRADOCK
(The text of this broadcast, in English and Russian, is available from bookshops, published by the translator)
