The Gulag Archipelago Abridged

An Experiment in Literary Investigation (P.S.)

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

This searing nonfiction book is a towering masterpiece of world literature that explores four decades of terror and oppression in the Soviet Union. Through Solzhenitsyn's own experiences and the testimonies of over 200 fellow prisoners, we witness the state within the state that ruled all-powerfully. This abridged version, authorized by the author, features a new foreword by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Anne Applebaum. Solzhenitsyn's literary genius has created a literary miracle that is both a gripping historical record and an astonishing indictment of a political regime.
