Gulag: A History see more Editorial Review: Product Description: Solzhenitsyn's gripping epic masterpiece, the searing record of four decades of Soviet terror and oppression, in one abridged volume, authorized by the author Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Shocking History This book makes me want to never complain about anything ever again. The Gulag Archipelago details the suffering faced by countless millions in the U.S.S.R.'s prison and labor camp system. It is a book beyond review - Solzhenitsyn has profound insight, devastating wit, and a staggering memory. From page 590: "What about the main thing in life, all its riddles? If you want, I'll spell it out for you right now. Do no pursue what is illusory - property and position: ... Read More Rating: - Time's Top Non-Fiction Book of the 20th Century This review refers only to Volume 3 (Sections 5 thru 7) This amazing volume chronicles Solzhenitsyn's years in a Siberian labor camp for political prisoners and later in exile, a limbo status, where the state's support of physical needs is withdrawn, but the prisoner's reentry into mainstream society isn't allowed because of his status as a former prisoner.

Read More Rating: - A soul-shaking earthquake of a book... What can be added to what has already been celebrated about this book? I'm only embarrassed to have read the abridged version, somewhat mockingly--even if authorized by Solzhenitsyn--referred to by the author as offered to those too busy in our modern world to read the entire text. Nonetheless, this abridged *Gulag Archipelago* is as powerful a document of human evil and the capacity...if we dare...of the human capacity to transcend that evil as has ever been written. Part horror story, part ... Read More Rating: - The single greatest literary work of the twentieth century. The title of this review is truly the way I feel about this book. The first volume relates stories of arrest and interrogation, the second volume tells of life in the camps, and the third talks of life in internal exile. The second volume, in particular, is at times haunting and at others uplifting in ways that are absolutely beyond description. The story of the woman who was set aside to starve to death simply because she "wasn't worth her bread ration" is one of the many that will stay with ...
