THE OFFICIALLY APPROVED ABRIDGEMENT FROM THE GULAG ARCHIPELAGO VOLUMES I, II & III

A vast canvas of camps, about The Gulag Archipelago prisons, transit centres and key police, of informers and spies and interrogators but also of everyday heroism, The Gulag Archipelago can be Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s grand masterwork. Based on the testimony of some 200 survivors, and on the recollection of Solzhenitsyn’s own eleven years in labour camps and exile, it chronicles the story of those in the centre from the Soviet Union who opposed Stalin, as well as for whom the key to survival lay not in wish but in despair.

A thoroughly investigated document and a feat of literary and imaginative power, this edition from the Gulag Archipelago was abridged into one volume at the author’s wish and with his full co-operation.

‘[The Gulag Archipelago] helped to lower an empire. Its importance can barely be exaggerated’ Doris Lessing, Weekend Telegraph
