Solzhenit︠s︡yn, Aleksandr Isaevich, 1918-2008,
The Gulag Archipelago, 1918-1956 : an experiment in literary investigation / Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn ; translated from the Russian by Thomas P. Whitney - First edition - 3 volumes : illustrations ; 24 cm
Translation of Arkhipelag GULag, 1918-1956 Vol. 3 translated by H. Willetts
Includes bibliographical references and indexes
The Prison Industry Perpetual Motion -- The Destructive Labor Camps The Soul and Barbed Wire -- Katorga Exile. Stalin is no more v. 1, pt. I. pt. II. v. 2., pt. III. pt. IV. v. 3., pt. V. pt. VI. pt. VII.
Drawing on his own experiences before, during and after his eleven years of incarceration and exile, on evidence provided by more than 200 fellow prisoners, and on Soviet archives, Solzhenitsyn reveals with torrential narrative and dramatic power the entire apparatus of Soviet repression, the state within the state that once ruled all-powerfully with its creation by Lenin in 1918. Through truly Shakespearean portraits of its victims-this man, that woman, that child-we encounter the secret police operations, the 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 astounding moral courage, the incorruptibility with which the occasional individual or a few scattered groups, all defenseless, endured brutality and degradation. And Solzhenitsyn's genius has transmuted this grisly indictment into a literary miracle
