The Gulag Archipelago 1918â1956
of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Edward E. Ericson Jr. (Introduction)
Series: The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956 #1-7
Description
Drawing on his own incarceration and exile, as well as on evidence from more than 200 fellow prisoners and Soviet archives, Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn reveals the entire apparatus of Soviet repressionâthe state within the state that ruled all-powerfully. Through truly Shakespearean portraits of its victimsâmen, women, and childrenâwe encounter secret police operations, labor camps and prisons; the uprooting or extermination of whole populations, the welcome that awaited Russian soldiers who had been German prisoners of war. Yet we also witness the astounding moral courage of the incorruptible, who, defenseless, endured great brutality and degradation. The Gulag Archipelago 1918â1956âa grisly indictment of a regime, fashioned here into a veritable literary miracleâhas now been updated with a new introduction that includes the fall of the Soviet Union and Solzhenitsyn's move back to Russia.
