The Gulag Archipelago

The Gulag Archipelago

Solzhenitsyn spent eleven years in labour camps and in exile.

This book is his masterwork, based on his own experiences as well as the testimony of some 200 survivors. A vast canvas of camps, prisons, transit centres and secret police, of informers and spies and interrogators but also of everyday heroism, it chronicles the story of those who dared to oppose Stalin, and for whom the key to survival lay not in hope but in despair. A thoroughly researched document and a feat of literary and imaginative power, this edition of The Gulag Archipelago was abridged into one volume at the request of the author.

'Helped to bring down an empire. Its importance can hardly be exaggerated' Doris Lessing, Sunday Telegraph

'Solzhenitsyn’s masterpiece...helped create the world we live in today' Anne Applebaum
