Aleksandr Isayevich[a] Solzhenitsyn (/ˌsoʊlʒəˈniːtsɪn, ˌsɔːl-/; Russian: Алекса́ндр Иса́евич Солжени́цын, pronounced [ɐlʲɪˈksandr ɪˈsaɪvʲɪtɕ səlʐɨˈnʲitsɨn]; 11 December 1918 – 3 August 2008) (often Romanized to Alexandr or Alexander) was a Russian novelist, historian, and short story writer. He was an outspoken critic of the Soviet Union and its totalitarianism and helped to raise global awareness of its Gulag forced labor camp system. He was allowed to publish only one work in the Soviet Union, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich (1962), in the periodical Novy Mir. After this he had to publish in the West, most notably Cancer Ward (1968), August 1914 (1971), and The Gulag Archipelago (1973). Solzhenitsyn was awarded the 1970 Nobel Prize in Literature "for the ethical force with which he has pursued the indispensable traditions of Russian literature". Solzhenitsyn was afraid to go to Stockholm to receive his award for fear that he wouldn't be allowed to reenter. He was eventually expelled from the Soviet Union in 1974, but returned to Russia in 1994 after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

Sooo worth the time/effort!

Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2020

What can I say? This is arguably the most important book written in the 20th century! If you aren’t used to Russian literature, it can be a bit daunting so start with some of the easier reads before tackling this classic treasure.

Gulag Archipelago vol.2

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2010

Verified Purchase

This volume like the one before it is no easy read, as far as reading material. Content is masterly depressing, told with a dry sense of humour.
Expands on the themes layed out in Volume 1. Emphasis on inner camp workings... as opposed to beginning process of arrests as detailed in Volume 1. Leads into final Volume, book 3, hopefully containing chapters that should address the issue of camp release and surrender to freedom.
Book recieved is in generally good condition; no obvious markings...spine breaking away from base, with dust jacket well-worn; condition passable. Good investment.

What's the over/under on Used-Good?

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2019

Verified Purchase

Well, the site did say Used-Good. I suppose it was my fault for not realizing that also meant the book had been rebound at some point. No problem! Except they rebound it upside down. Must have been a Soviet binder.

I fist read this difficult story when it was first published in three volumes. I decided to reread it. It is the horrific, but true, story of the extent of the madness of Joseph Stalin. It takes a while to read, but it is time well spent, if you are interested in history and human nature.

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2015

Verified Purchase

This should be required reading for every American. It opened my eyes to the calculated, rudimentary mechanics through which so many tens of millions met torture and death in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe until at least 1948. Beyond that, Kasporov can enlighten with Putin's more recent malfeasance.

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. This should be mandatory reading for college students.

an excellent book

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2013

Verified Purchase

I was glad to find part two of this book. It is an absolutely excellent book and you really have to read all three parts to get the full force of it. I recommend that everyone read this because it was suprisingly humorous and readable but also will completely change your life with realizing just how big a tragedy the gulag was.
