The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956 : an experiment in literary investigation I - II
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander1974
Books, Manuscripts
This is Solzhentisyn's masterwork: extraordinary in its literary power and historical vision; in structure, scale, multiplicity of incident and characters, emotional range, and above all in the staggering magnitude of its underlying concept. There have been numerous accounts of life in Soviet prisons and camps but none which so illuminates the nature of the system, nor any that provide such a brilliant, integrated array of detail about the way in which it actually killed or deformed the life of millions.
