A propos de cet article

First edition, first printing. Hardback in dustwrapper. 22 × 14cm, xii + 660pp. The first volume of Solzhenitsyn's classic account of life in the the Gulag, the Soviet labour camp system. A vast canvas of camps, prisons, transit centres and secret police, of informers and spies and interrogators but also of everyday heroism, The Gulag Archipelago is Alexander 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 at the heart of the Soviet Union who opposed Stalin, and for whom the key to survival lay not in hope but in despair. Condition: The book is in very good condition, the dustwrapper has light edgewear and creasing but remains intact.
