Product 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 repression -- the state within the state that ruled all-powerfully.

Through truly Shakespearean portraits of its victims -- men, women, and children -- we 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 1918-1956 -- a grisly indictment of a regime, fashioned here into a veritable literary miracle -- has now been updated with a new introduction that includes the fall of the Soviet Union and Solzhenitsyn's move back to Russia.

Ingram

Solzhenitsyn has orchestrated thousands of incidents and individual histories into a work of staggering magnitude. 9 cassettes. --Ce texte provient de la Audio Cassette édition.

1.0étoiles sur 5 It must be done, Oct. 15 2006
Par J. Mclarty (Ontario Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
For this book I would give 5 stars, for this version, only 1. Do yourself a favour and save time and money, buy the unabriged editions! (Three volumes, takes abit of work)Reading this amazes you, but leaves you dissatisfied, wanting the whole story, for that is what you need with this book.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Hats off to Solzhenitsyn, Mai 23 2009
This review is from: The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956 Abridged (Paperback)
If Orwellian writers described the dangers of totalitarianism and dehumanization in works of fiction, this is the raw articulation of that brutal reality in hard detail. Every student of History must read this.

Solzhenitsyn's effort is massive, to say the least. Sure, it's a long book. But before long, the reader begins to appreciate George Kennan's celebrated description of the GA as "the greatest and most powerful single indictment of a political regime ever to be leveled in modern times."

On the other hand, GA is also more personal and reflective that you might expect. Solzhenitsyn writes: "let the reader who expects this book to be a political expose slam its covers shut right now."

In the end, I'm not sure that it matters much whether you agree with Solzhenitsyn's conclusions or not - the weight of his testament is value enough.

Suffice it to listen to a story that, until now, we've only heard ABOUT but of which we hardly knew the details.

5.0étoiles sur 5 One of the Best!, Fév 27 2004
Par Un client
Review by Mike, Age 13

Solzhenitsyn does an excellent job of retelling the story of the atrocities of the Soviet Union. The Gulag Archipelago is a disturbing account of what happened inside the Gulag prisons. This is an account about the things hidden from the public and the things the Marxists wanted to keep hidden. And how he gave a first person account of prison life, well that was just amazing! His vivid descriptions about the kinds of arrests that took place I thought was very interesting and an amazing brainchild of a distorted Soviet Union!

How Stalin could turn an innocent gesture of two long lost friends being reunited into an arrest is beyond me. The Gulag Archipelago is an excellent book that unveiled an entirely new side of the Soviet Union and its perverted system of justice. It's a great book for historians and World War II buffs, or even if you are trying to find out more about the Soviet Union. The Gulag Archipelago is quite possibly one of the best books I've ever read! I would recommend it to anyone even remotely interested in the Soviet Union. (Content will be confusing for younger readers.)
