‘Solzhenitsyn’s masterpiece…The Gulag Archipelago helped create the world we reside in today’ Anne Applebaum

THE OFFICIALLY APPROVED ABRIDGEMENT FROM THE GULAG ARCHIPELAGO VOLUMES I, II & III

A huge canvas of camps, about The Gulag Archipelago prisons, transit centres and top secret law enforcement, of informers and spies and interrogators but also of everyday heroism, The Gulag Archipelago is definitely Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s grand masterwork. Predicated on the testimony of some 200 survivors, and on the recollection of Solzhenitsyn’s own eleven years in labour camps and exile, it chronicles the storyplot of those in the centre of the Soviet Union who compared Stalin, and for whom the main element to survival lay down not in hope but in despair.

A thoroughly researched record and a feat of literary and imaginative power, this release from the Gulag Archipelago was abridged into one volume at the author’s desire and along with his full co-operation.

‘[The Gulag Archipelago] helped to lower an empire. Its importance can hardly end up being exaggerated’ Doris Lessing, Sunday Telegraph
